Same issue on my LG 34UM69G-B. It flickers on and off as I change the volume.

@hdsantos89 I would suggest changing the title to "Not Hiding the OSD Completely". Your title suggests that Monitor Control IS hiding the OSD correctly, or it sounds like a Feature Request.

Unfortunatelly this function is rather broken. It would be nice if it could be made to work properly. The implementation not only makes volume changes rather slow but results in a flickering monitor OSD (I have an LG UHD display myself). In the next version we'll have an option to disable the OS OSD instead and let the Display's OSD remain for those who don't like the two overlaying OSDs.

I'll close this one since it is related to https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/issues/480 in reverse. Since hiding the OSD cannot work properly due to hard technical limitations, the relevant option will work the other way around (disabling the macOS OSD). Hope this will suffice. Sorry about the fact that there is no better alternative though.
