SPDIF sound on W700 dock, onscreen display goes on often

[tinkererguy]

This is really a minor nit, I realize.

When using my W700 with SPDIF output for audio (in docking station), the onscreen display volume indicator comes up for a few seconds. This happens every time the system makes a noise (like the small click when you browse with IE).

The workaround is to

a) turn-off the onscreen display, in the right-click on desktop, choose
Personalize
Display Settings
Advanced Settings
Onscreen Display

b) use analog audio

But in analog mode, my subwoofer hisses at low volume.

So, wondering if somebody knows a better workaround. Using latest W700 Vista x64 video drivers. Thanks!

14 months later, now on Windows 7 x64, same issue still remains fyi. And using the very latest W700 ThinkVantage drivers and software.
