Installed Windows 8 64 Bit on 02-Dec-12 and had no problems with W8 VolumeД¬ontrol - it worked properly with my old Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro which I also tried disabling all services not necessary with a selective startup through msconfig as previously mentioned.

A refresh or clean windows install will not help. But for now I recommend going to your pc manufacturer's website and downloading the appropriate audioДriver updates. If I come across a better fix I will post. I know how frustrating this is because it also completely messed up all touch function. Hopefully it will be brought to Microsoft's attention soon. I have spent countless hours with this problem, and I know there is very little information available on the web. I reinstalled the driver and will simply stay away fromДЄny built in sound control, and control the volume through desktop controls. It did come back again a few days later after testing the touch controls for sound. After install I had sound and voila, the bar disappeared.

For me I went to the Lenovo website because I have a Lenovo 540b all in one touch screen, and I downloaded

There was no program or service specific to theД«ar, disabling all sounds service gets rid of it, but who wants a mute computer? The best solution I have come up with so far is to update sound drivers. Previously I found the only way to disable the bar was to disable all sound.

I believe the volume bar is a conflict between hardware sound controls and windows 8 audio drivers. Instead, the system automatically controls app volume, muting or lowering the volume of background apps when needed.I have had the same issues. ThereвЂ™s no way to control the volume of individual Metro-style apps, for example, and thatвЂ™s true of both the new Metro volume controls and the legacy desktop interfaces. Incidentally, Windows 8вЂ™s new Metro-style volume controls lack many of the more sophisticated controls that are available via the desktop. This icon is a toggle, so tapping it again will unmute the volume and return it to its previous level. Or you can tap the speaker icon at the top of the pop-up control to mute the system volume. A pop-up volume control will appear, allowing you to manually select a volume level from 0 to 100 percent. To adjust the volume, simply tap the Volume icon in the Settings pane. As you can see, a number of system settings appear at the bottom of this pane, including Volume. This interface is provided as part of the system-wide Settings pane, which appears when you type WINKEY + I or select Settings from the Charms bar. Windows 8 also provides a software-based interface for accessing the system volume, one that works consistently in all Metro experiences-the Start screen, PC Settings, and individual Metro-style apps and games-and on the Windows desktop. (This button is often found on Windows laptop and Ultrabook keyboards.)

The volume overlay also appears if you press a hardware mute button, if present. (This overlay appears over the Lock screen as well.) So when you press Volume Up or Volume Down, the volume will change and, if the screen is on, a volume overlay will appear. In keeping with its mobile device-like design, Windows 8 of course works with hardware volume buttons. These interfaces still exist in Windows 8, of course, but with the addition of the Metro environment, a more consistent method for controlling system volume was required. Previous to Windows 8, most users knew to use the Volume icon in the system tray to control the system volume and access more advance controls such as the mixer, which could be used to individually control the volume of individual applications and playback devices. In this new tip, I look at the new device-based ways in which you can adjust the system volume, particularly in Metro-style apps. But this standardization is causing some users fits, so IвЂ™m starting a new series of tips aimed at helping you overcome some common gotchaвЂ™s. With Windows 8, Microsoft is standardizing a lot of common tasks through new system-level features such as charms, contracts, and settings.
