Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the issue

Hello. Monitor LG 27UK850-W and Mac OS 12.1 (21 C 52) [but the problem was also relevant for versions 10 and 11].
If use the volume keys on keyboard (or the application volume slider), in addition to the Mac OS volume indicator, the LG monitor volume indicator is additionally displayed (black color in the screenshot).

Enabling the "OSD scale: Use fine OSD scale for volume" checkbox (whatever that means) does not solve the problem.

Thanks.

Expected behavior

Display only the Mac OS volume indicator. Is it possible?

Anything else?

Environment Information (please complete the following information)

- macOS version: 12.1 (21C52)
- Mac model: mac mini 2018 intel
- MonitorControl version: 4.0.2
- Monitor(s): LG 27UK850-W
- Monitor Cable(s)/Connection(s): default thunderbolt cable
- Apple Silicon/M1 (yes or no): no

Hi @slepoy1 ,

It is not possible to hide the manufacturer OSD for now but you can check the "Disable macOS volume OSD" to hide the macOS one.

Have a nice day
