Link to issue number:

Fixes #10411
Follow-up to #10410

Summary of the issue:

NVDA announces progress bar information in System/Sound in Windows 10 Settings app in Version 1803 and later.

Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:

In Windows 10 Version 1803 (April 2018 Update, specifically with build 17035) and later, Windows 10's Settings app added System/Sound page, moving Sound property sheet from Control Panel to Settings. However, this page includes an annoying progress bar which is really a volume meter, causing NVDA to announce progress bar information. Thus remove progress bar behavior so NVDA can remain silent.

Testing performed:

Tested via Windows 10 App Essentials add-on and on Version 1909 (build 18363) and other builds.

Known issues with pull request:

None

Hi,

Differences from #10410

  • Covers not just output, but input volume meter.
  • Make sure new Storage Sense design is incorporated, as without that, AttributeError is raised because Storage Sense also uses a progress bar to denote storage usage.
  • Compatible with Version 1803 (April 2018 Update) and later (including 20H1).

Thanks.

Note that another difference is that this doesn't add the Meter role.
