heula 189 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Is there a registry setting that prevents the osd of the volume? I don't use the internal volume since I use exernal volume and everytime a theme video starts this volume osd info pops up and I don't like that.

CWNashvegas 170 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This should work: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay Change the value of the key: DisableVolumeDisplay to 1 and reboot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heula 189 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well it does not seem to work since I still see the volume osd. It should be the hexdecimal that needs to be changed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. I was thinking that it worked the same way as the other WMC OSD registry tweaks (I thought I'd even used it before) but it does not. After much trial and error on my part, it seems this cannot be disabled, despite the oh-so-perfectly named reg key. Sorry. And there seems to be no way around it either, as it's tied to system volume rather than application volume, which is why you're seeing it. So anything sent to your audio device that could be interpreted as a change can cause it to show. Do you have any dynamic processing or the like turned on that would be starting when a theme video plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think of if I understand correctly what you say is that ac3filter becomes active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your audio hardware setup? I don't have ac3filter installed, but the only thing I can think of is the output gains, if you're running a speaker setup off the sound card. If you're passing through to a receiver, it shouldn't be hitting your system volume at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
