Hello jeremy bloomfield,
I see that you're noticing that the volume bar is appearing differently after updating to macOS Catalina. I can understand your concern, and I'd be happy to help.
Let's go through some steps to try to isolate this issue together. First, try starting your Mac in safe mode and testing to see if the issue remains. If the issue remains, let's try a test user account and see if the issue persists.
