Installed Star Wars Battlefront 2 for the first time on my laptop after upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11, and when the game is playing I see what appears to be an "audio visualizer" on the right of my screen:

This is not part of the game, and was not visible when I was running Win 10.
It is only visible when the game has focus and I'm getting audio - either through the laptop speakers or through a headset. If I move focus to a different window / screen then the game continues merrily (and silently) and the "visualizer" disappears.
I suspect this is something to do with Win 11 (even though I only see it with this title - music, audiobooks, videos, other games do not show similar) but I've no idea what it is and why I'm seeing it.
I am running Windows 11 Home, version 21H2, OS build 22000.376, experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.376.0
Grateful for any insights, help or advice.
