While i cannot offer a concrete answer … perhaps add'l info from you might help others. However the events record also shows an installation date as 18/12 and clicking through this is recorded as the correct updated driver.Īnyone any ideas on how to get rid of this annoyance? When I open the volume control icon bottom left and click the Speaker icon, the dialogue box tells me the driver is from, version 6., and the none of the buttons to Update etc are active. Events shows only 18/12 and this as the configuration and start date. The Update, Disable, Uninstall buttons are all active - the Roll Back button is not. When I use Device Manager to check the audio driver it shows as 6.0. I did not use any keyboard short cuts to adjust volume. Latest occurrence after a reboot, when all I had open were two tabs in Pale Moon, for gmail and ebay. It disappears if I restart, but then reappears seemingly at random. I have uninstalled any likely associated bloat apps. Worse still it then sticks the speaker volume slider on 100%. A volume control pop-up box keeps appearing top left of my Acer laptop screen where it overlays everything.
