How to get rid of the sound bar on hp pavillion dv6 2010

[Einiman]

I have the hp pavillion dv6 with a sound touch bar above the keyboard from 2010. When i turn up or down the volume a soundbar pops up on the middle of the screen. That is a litle bit anoying when i am in a game because it closes the game when i have it in fullscreen. How do i get rid of the soundbar

Hi,

For your model, the sound bar osd is provided by HP MediaSmart SmartMenu.

You can either just uninstall this from its entry in Programs and Features or just prevent it from running at start-up - you can do the later as follows.

Hold down the Windows key and press R. In to the Run box type msconfig and hit enter. In the following window, click the Start up tab, remove the tick next to HP MediaSmart SmartMenu and then click Apply and Okto make the change. Reboot the notebookfor this change to take effect.
