Control bar of the unknown Volume suddenly appearing on desktop Dual-Boot computers.

Original title: 'Mystery' Volume Control Bar sudden appearance on desktop Dual-Boot computers.

Good day, community:

I'll do my best to make the question as concise as possible.  This is a real new for me.

I dual-boot Windows 7 Pro & Windows 8.1 Pro on a 64-bit computer.  Each operating system is on another HDD (mechanical).  Yesterday, a control Volume unsourced bar began to appear on each of the separate workstations.  On the DT of Win7, this bar is displayed in the lower right region and hovers over the SysTray speaker icon.  On the DT 8.1 Win, it appears in the box to the upper left, similar to where the real system volume control appears when it is called.  Each of these 'mystery ' control bars will appear - and then disappear for a period of time.  Each control bar is flooded-out for the volume level of 100% and stays there.  Right click shows no drop-down menu to display the properties.  The control rods cannot be manipulated to adjust the volume levels.  When I view the actual systems Volume mixer and attempt to manipulate the volume level bar will adjust briefly but then floods automatically save the level of 100%.  I ran my anti-virus - full system scan - all readers - update Avast for free - and malware kit & root scan - MalwareBytes - but nothing does.

The following may provide a clue.  The last program I have installed under the two O/S has been steam 'The Orange Box'. All components have been updated.  I disabled the Steam Client to bootloader program in each operating system using msconfig/startup and restarted.  The 'mystery ' Volume control bar continues to appear in the same areas described above.  I intend to describe the same question on the steam Forum community.  Thank you all for your time.  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Neal,

Thanks for your reply, appreciate the time taken by us keep up to date on the State of the question.

Looks like NVIDIA High Definition Audio driver interferes with IDT High Definition Audio. Uninstall and reinstall the audio driver can help.

    The easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

    However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

  • How to increase the control limits for the Audio Volume?

    I have upgraded my PC base unit and no longer have the output of the Speaker Volume I had before. The audio output is more silent than before with the same speakers I used. I have moved all the sliders on the control panel of the Volume on their maximum position, but still can't get enough of output to the speakers. The important thing is for my use are 'Volume Control' and 'Wave', and these are set to the maximum. Now I have a motherboard with Intel D845GERG2 Intel i845GE chipset. The operating system is Windows XP Professional SP3, as previously. The sound card is SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio with Legacy audio drivers. I checked using Device Manager drivers and hardware to work properly. The problem is software because I can achieve the required high speaker volume if I use VLC Media Player and set the volume to 200%. With Windows Media Player, set the volume to 100% is sufficient. I'm looking to increase range parameter on the control panel of Volume as a general solution. Can you advise if this is possible? I looked at a few ideas, these courses: edit files (.inf) SoundMAX driver. Modify the registry keys concerned. Use different audio drivers (none seem to be available for my hardware). Install the software to boost the audio output (VLC Media Player should be achieve this somehow). Install alternative (rollback) Microsoft drivers. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Just an update of my efforts on this issue.

    I revisited the audio registry settings SoundMAX for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ \0005\Settings {4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. These are installed when you install the driver for SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. Changing these settings has already failed to get an increase of output audio volume. I have now found some settings of the value of these registry keys that have given me a satisfactory increase in the volume of the audio. In short, the cure for my situation was:

    The file source (wdm3516b_Cadenza.exe) driver available from the Download Center Intel is a self-extracting ZIP file. Unzip this file to a location convenient temporary store (C:\Temp)

    Use a text editor (Notepad) to edit the INF of the driver - in my case, it's "smwdmCH4.inf. Changes to this file cause the digital signature of the file to be invalid, but choose "Continue Anyway" to solve this problem during the installation of the driver. To increase the sound volume levels, the audio volume registry key value parameters that have been predefined 08 (hex) have been changed to 01 (hex). I suppose that this change dB levels produced by the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.

    To install the new settings:

    Uninstall the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio hardware by using Device Manager.

    Restart the PC - this should give a "new hardware found" restart of the PC.

    Use Device Manager to reinstall the driver for SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. Do not use the automatic selections for this - run the installation process where you stored the INF driver edited file.

    Once installation is complete, a check on the properties of the device must indicate that the device is functioning properly.

    Use regedit to check that changes in the edited file driver INF appeared in the area of the Windows registry - in my case, it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ {4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0005\Settings.

    I will emphasize that it is NOT a recommended fix - it turns out that it worked for me. The usual caveats apply - save your original settings, or better yet, use software disk image to make a copy of your drive hard so that you go back to square one if she's going "pear-shaped" with adaptations that have been made.

  • How to present the four volumes of SAN 5720 Broadcom dual port NIC?

    I just bought a Dell PowerEdge R520 with three network cards to double Port 5720 Broadcom. I plan to start Windows Server 2008 directly from an EqualLogic SAN PS140E and want to create four SAN volumes that correspond directly to the four volumes NTFS. I have just a single switch Dell PowerConnect 5424.

    It is recommended to have a NETWORK card for each SAN volume connection or is there another favorite method?

    You are welcome.

    Re: MPIO, absolutely!  You will not have full redundancy, but in the meantime a card failure network or cable don't take you down.

    Re: data / logs on different volumes, it is certainly what you want to do.

  • Problems with the installation of Win 7 on a dual boot Win 8 computer

    I recently bought a new all-in-one computer with an operating system of Windows 8.  However, I have a program that should be used on a daily basis for which a version of Win 8 is not yet available.  I bought a copy of WIn7 and partitioned the terabyte of hard drive with the intention of installing Win 7 in the new partition and the dual boot of the computer.  However, when I try to install Win 7 from the installation disc, it error with an error message that says in order to restart the installation.  No matter how many times I reboot, the error message occurs at the same point - a few seconds after the message appears saying that the temporary files are copied.  What is the problem?

    Of new computer models that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no support for Windows 7 and there is no native driver Windows 7.

    In addition, when you install older versions in a dual-boot configuration, you must install the older version of Windows (Windows 7), then first 8 windows.

    I recommend to install your Windows 7 in a virtual machine program and use the program here:

    You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

    https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

    VMware Player;

    http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

    Or you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and turn on the built in Hyper-V that you can use to run Windows 7.

  • Can I install the upgrade to win 8 as a dual boot with Windows 7?

    I bought and downloaded but not installed upgrading Windows 8 Pro, I'm currently under Win 7 64. The upgrade wizard Win gave the choice to install now, install by creating media or install at a later time from your desktop.  I chose the latter, and the Windows Installer shortcut is now on the desktop. I have learned since that a dual-boot Win 8 cannot happen if installed by Windows.

    This upgrade version allows you to dual boot? (I have a few apps that apparently do not run in Win 8)

    It can dualboot (as long as you create the DVD drive with the installation files. But to install the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, the score should have a previous version of qualification of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7). The version recommended if you want to dualboot is the full OEM version:

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

    There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

    Hi Paul and it isn't Haggis cat, Pepe.

    See this solution of Dan needing at least a Media Smart program to get the OSD volume to work. Maybe there is a new Menu MS where he works on its own and if it is, please send the link and I'll try it.

    There was a problem with the OSD menu minimizing a full-screen youtube video, but HP seems to have fixed that.

    There is another one of Cheryl where she posts the same results that Dan, but I know that she doesn't like the OSD from HP and she always recommend 3RCVX.

    If I find it, I'll post the link here.

  • Volume icon appears at random then spend or receive the phone call

    Hello

    Without doubt, I went through all the threads it are on the theme of the volume icon, but have not found anything that fits my 'problem '. I have an iPhone SE and sometimes when I make or receive a phone call the grey volume icon appears on the screen. I attributed it to the apps from third-party such as IMDB or Facebook but tried various scenarios and honestly can't pin it down to a specific. Someone at - it a similar problem? To be honest, it's quite annoying to see the gray icon volume pop up like this out of nowhere. I should add that all is well in terms of volume and the volume keys. No clue as to what causes this problem?

    Peace,

    Wojtek

    How do you know that all is well with the volume keys? They can work properly (increase or decrease in volume when you press on), but there might be a problem with the hardware with them or the mute button.

    Make an appointment on the Apple store and bring the phone to be checked.

  • Delete the MOV video control bar

    I dropped a MOV file in the web page and he created a bottom control bar. That's nice for most uses, but I don't want that. No idea how to remove the bar? I tried to resize the chart, but who just resizes in the Middle, so the result is that I should cut some of the top equal to the size of the bottom control bar :-(

  • The FM volume do not fall below 50%

    I just bought a Sansa Clip + 8 GB. I have not yet updated the firmware, but I find a strange volume, with which I hope someone can help. The volume for music actually heard in the earphones can be filed smooth 100% zero & follows closely the Visual of the position of the volume, but for the FM volume radio bar drop 100% to about 50% and rest then to 50% in the ear phones, even when the volume bar decreases smoothly to zero. When the bar of volume actually hits zero the sound goes out in headphones.  I tried to reduce the volume to near zero in music mode & then to move to the FM band. The volume bar stays close to zero, but the volume of the headphones rises to 50%. I say this because visually, the bar lengthens, the headphones volume remains constant until the bar reached 50% & the noise increases so as usual.

    Can someone suggest a remedy for this oddity of volume FM?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the replies! Yes, I found your posts about this tapeworm in the chain of the firmware right after that I posted my question, namely that it was a bug. I now see this string it has indeed been resolved. I will update my firmware immediately. Appreciate all the information.

  • The physical volume button

    How to disable the physical volume knob when when my app works? I want to control the volume of the sound that my app plays without letting the user control by using the phyical volume buttons.

    The only way that the user controls the volume is via the app's settings.

    You can install s media key watcherfor the top & volume keys, only to have their output in a console.log () and it replaces the volume function but if you don't destroy them before reducing to a minimum the app it on will drive the volume until your application is closed
