I think that happens if the system volume control doesn't return that it's available.  Could you try switching to "Internal Volume" for a bit and see if the problem goes away?

Thanks.

A shot in the dark here, but have you tried another skin? I'd suggest seeing if you can reproduce it in Noire.

Are you saying it happens even when you're set to "Internal Volume" mode?

That would really be a mystery if it's true.

no
internal volume, system volume ... no problem
application volume ... handler disappears

and when i switch from internal or system vol to application vol, it disappears.

The application volume must periodically report that it doesn't exist.  No problem, just use internal volume.

Or, try updating the driver for your audio device.

But Internal Volume is almost always a better choice than Application Volume.  Read:

The max volume of the Internal Volume control is the current System Volume setting.  Do you just mean increasing the System Volume?

If so, you can set MC to always max out the System Volume when playing, which means then Internal Volume corresponds to the full possible range of your audio device. This is best for audio quality as well.

Or, do you mean overdriving your audio device above 0.0dB?  This is not recommended for any digital volume control as it will introduce distortion.  You'd be better off to use MC's Dynamic Volume system to compress the audio if needed (for night playback or cruddy laptop speakers).  If needed, though, both EQ DSPs can raise audio levels like a pre-amp.  Again, though, if you go over 0.0dB, it'll clip and distort.
