I have an HP f2105 21" monitor running on Windows 7 x64. Recently the Volume Icon keeps appearing on my screen, and automatically increases the volume to 100%.
I have not made any significant changes in my operating system. The Icon stands in front of all other screens and cannot be dismissed. It quits when it's ready after a few seconds. It pops up every 3-4 minutes or so.
My drivers are up to date. I've tried disconnecting the monitor and reconnecting it. Turning it off and on, etc. So far nothing has helped.

Does your keyboard have volume buttons? I know in my experiences I have sometimes run into similar scenarios. In my case the problem was accidentally hitting the volume button on my keyboard. How is your sound setup in Windows 7? Is your monitor set as the default sound device? Do other sound devices increase their volumes?
Probably one of the best ways to isolate the problem would be to put the monitor on another computer and see if the sound continues to appear and go up.

Thank you for your quick response Travis. My keyboard does not have volume keys; it's a rather simple keyboard. Good thought though. I have only one sound device, Realtek HD audio driver. I have played with it's settings, but find nothing out of order. I will bring my laptop home and attach it to the monitor and see if there's any difference. That was a great idea. Thanks again. I'll let you know what I find out.

Let me know what happens. Isolating the problem is always a good way to start troubleshooting. If the problem persists on your laptop connected to the monitor than the problem may be with the monitor itself. If, however, the monitor works while connected to the laptop it may be a setting or problem with your computer.

I was also Cursed with something similar Volume didn't increase but couldn't see behind icon or even moveit, it didn't even show up in a screen shot on Paint! I used Windows Defender scan, after 8-10 full scans didn't find anything, Troble shooting with Win 10 didn't Help, so I downloaded AVG, and on first scan it found 8 suspected files, now after 6-8 hours run time no Popups! Hope this helps other folks, Ron
