    Synopsis:

    While watching full-screen TV, changes in the audio volume cause the "Volume Level OSD" to appear in the top-right of the screen, and at the same time, the video image will freeze momentarily for about half a second.

    There does not appear to be any option to turn off the "Volume Level OSD"?

    Also, none of the other OSD's (TV OSD, Zap OSD, etc) cause the video to momentariy freeze like the "Volume Level OSD" does.

    And, when the volume is one level from silence, all 10 brown bars are displayed, indicating the the volume is on mute, but it is still clearly audible. It takes one more "volume-down" to get to the mute level.

    As i mentioned earlier, i have the same problem. I found a temporary workaround though:
    Most remote control apps (i use irassistant) allow you to set the system volume of the windows mixer directly, without sending a command to mediaportal, thus not enabling mediaportal's OSD. This works fine for me, so i'll be just waiting for the bug to be fixed.

    I have just tried the CVS 07-25-2005--01-32 and this problem of the video (and sound) freezing for a fraction (about 1/2) of a second when the Volume OSD appears, still exists.

    However, none of the other OSDs cause this slight "stutter", so the problem seems to be unique to the Volume OSD display..... :(

    for me the context menu in fullscreen tv has this problem too. open the context menu and after a few seconds the sound an video begins to stutter. (since the last days cvs the context menu doesnt appear for me, also in the epg when i press f3 nothing happens)

    I can confirm all the above with recent cvs.
