Re: Screen goes black when adjusting volume

Hey @Degree234,

That sounds very strange indeed!

Do you maybe have a video of this happening to you, and do you maybe have any overlays running in the background? Like Origin, Discord, Logitech, MSI overlays or anything?

  • @EA_LeeuwNo overlays and recording my screen doesn't show it happening

    Also tried to take video with my phone but the files are too big

    @Degree234, can you see if you can post the video to YouTube (maybe as hidden?) and post a link to it here? Would really like to see how it actually looks.

    Hey @Degree234,

    The video is marked Private and therefore unfortunately unable to view for me. Maybe you can mark it as Hidden/Unlisted?

    @Degree234, no worries, thanks a lot! Hmm, that looks super strange indeed!
    Can you maybe post a DxDiag of your system? That way we can maybe check if there is a possible underlying problem.

    Also, a few more questions:

    • Do you have an HDR monitor by any chance?
    • In what screen format are you playing: fullscreen, borderless, windowed, etc.?
    • What is your monitor max (default) resolution and what is the max Hz it can take?

    @Degree234DX12 overlay problem ( z-axis ). Disable the overlay which shows the audio bar and the black screening is gone when adjusting the volume.

  • I solved this by NVIDIA control panel. Make the 'monitor technology' for apex the same as global setting could solve this problem.
