Seems you are using a blender version from 2019-04-03, could you check the same in a current build from https://builder.blender.org/download/?
Also try upgrading your GPU drivers.
If all that fails, please post the output of Help > Save System Info here...

Actually (since this is working in my simple test), could you provide the .blend you are getting this issue in?
[this makes sure we are all on the same page... thx in advance...]

Some notes:

Principled Volume > Density seems way to high, try reducing from 37.2 to 0.2
Principled Volume > Emision Strength seems way to high, try reducing from 18.4 to 0.0 [not sure what was intended here though...]
Render > Volumetrics > Distribution is at 1.0 if I put this at anything below [like the default of 0.8], I am getting something reasonable, see

regarding the fact that setting Render > Volumetrics > Distribution to exactly 1.0 will effectively disable the whole volumetric effect, i need to check a little further...
