For the past 6 days the volume bar has not gone away. I try to turn down the volume, but it gradually goes back to 100. The bar gets in the way, and the volume is way too loud. I've seen other people have had this same problem, but I haven't found a solution. I've restarted my computer, I've downloaded an updated audio driver, I've held down the audio buttons on my keyboard, but nothing helps.
I have a Windows 10, Inspiron 15-7579, 64 bit.

I just searched the interned for hours only to discover that it's not a software issue, but that there is a volume button on the side of the computer next to the power that I never noticed and it was STUCK. That was definitely my problem. It's still kind of stuck for me, but at least the volume icon went away. Hope this helps.

Use the function keys on the top of the device keyboard . I pressed Esc, F1 , F2, F3, F4 , F5 in sequence and the volume bar went away. I tried to get it back but it did not come back . I do not miss it though but felt great to get rid of it. Happy computing guys.
TNRC51, love your work. Your reference to the wireless keyboard jolted my memory that my wireless mouse needed recharging and as sure as hell as soon as I plugged it in....problem gone. Thank you

Awesome. This post made my day. I had the same issue and solved in the same way. I love the power of internet!!. Cheers
I have had this issue, on and off. Usually, I'd have to reboot the computer entirely. However, for myself anyway, I found a much easier fix! If/When the volume becomes stuck, if you have a wireless keyboard, as I do (Logitech K800, for me!), simply turn the power off and wait a few seconds. The volume bar on screen will disappear.
Then turn it back on, and the volume should stay at the level you put it at. I think it has something to do with some flaw using the keyboard volume buttons. When doing it manually via the little sound horn in the lower right-hand corner or via my wireless headphones, I never have the problem. Only when using the keyboard controls.
Good luck and I hope this helps someone!
