In older versions I used to comment out osd.show(percent) in the functions increaseVolume and decreaseVolume in the file /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.volume/contents/ui/main.qml (blog source). But that file does not exist anymore in Plasma 5.13. Is there an other way to disable it?

    Not sure if useful, but I modify the OSD to make it smaller and persist for less time. I patch the files in `/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/osd`. – Sparhawk Dec 18 '18 at 23:17

Right-click the volume icon in the tray

and select Configure KMix….

Unselect Show On Screen Display (OSD) then click OK (or Apply).

This is equivalent to editing ~/.config/kmixrc and adding the line:

showOSD=false

  • P.S. I have no idea why my fonts, etc., are cropped like that. – Sparhawk Apr 18 '19 at 08:34

    When I right-click the volume icon I don't have the `Configure KMix` option. The only option I have is `Configure Audio Volume...`. – MatMis Apr 22 '19 at 09:49
  • @MatMis I added a screenshot for when right-click the icon. What version of plasma are you on now? I'm using 5.15.4. I also wonder if your volume icon is not actually kmix, but something else. – Sparhawk Apr 22 '19 at 10:13
  • @Sparkhawk I'm also using KDE 5.15.4 (on Antergos). – MatMis Apr 22 '19 at 12:33

  • Aha, [this issue](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=201805) with two volume icons in the tray was what I was thinking of. The one that you are using is `Audio Volume`. If you right-click on the tray arrow, click `Configure System Tray…`, you can see it in the `General` tab. The "proper" one is in the `Entries` tab, and called `Volume Control`. I don't think you can totally hide it, so it might be in the tray arrow overflow? – Sparhawk Apr 22 '19 at 13:30

  • Hmm… I'm not sure, but is `kmix` actually running? Try `ps aux | grep '[k]mix'`? If not, then try `$ kmix`? – Sparhawk Apr 23 '19 at 10:10
  • Yes, kmix is not running, so it is not possible to configure it from tray. I have the same issue. – puchu Oct 21 '19 at 08:15
  • I have `kde-apps/kmix` not installed. – puchu Oct 21 '19 at 08:15

    For me in `Plasma 5.21.2` it was `Configure Audio Volume...` and then `Show visual feedback for changes to:`. Then uncheck `Audio volume` and `Mute state` – hrvoj3e Mar 12 '21 at 10:45

what you gotta do is right click the speakers tray icon and then click audio volume after that uncheck audio feedback and you're good to go

  • Please add the kde-plasma version for which your trick can apply. (It was not possible on the version the OP was running… 4 years ago…) – MC68020 Aug 13 '22 at 15:28
