When adjusting the volume in Windows 8.1, a box appears at the top left corner of the screen. This box sticks around for ~13 seconds before it fades away. If you attempt to dismiss it by click on it, it switches to the music app.
How do you disable or dismiss this annoying box? At the very least, can the time visible be adjusted? More times than not, it's in the way.
Open the Settings Charm, click on "Change PC Settings", then Ease of Access > Other Settings, and change the length of time to show notifications for in the drop-down box.
Open settings and click on "Ease of access", then scroll down to the drop-down menu called "Show notifications for" and select a time.

I have no idea why the moderator random deleted the working solution. There is a small tool called HideVolumeOSD which can hide the overlay:
To hide the volume OSD you can select the menu item “Hide Volume OSD” or just click on the tray Icon.
With this item you can toggle between visible and hidden volume OSD. If you exit the application, the volume OSD is always restored to visible state.
You can download it here and the sourcecode can be found on github
No above mentioned suggestion solved this issues, I got new idea for get rid off this mess. just open "regedit" and follow the step mentioned below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\EdgeUI
DisableTLcorner DWORD
Now restart your PC.
Just adjust the volume from the Charms bar or the taskbar. In either of these cases the volume control will not show.
The volume control only shows by default for about 3 seconds. If you interact with it (i.e. move your mouse over it, click it, etc.) or keep adjusting the volume, it will stay up longer.
This feature was added to Windows 8 in attempt to copy the Mac volume display - which shows up in the middle of the screen.
And, by the way, it will only switch to the Music app if you are using the Music app. Just use Windows Media Player if you want to avoid this.
