You can use SmartToolKit (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nnqql2mjwyd) then by pressing <- you will have a gadget for volume & profile and any user programs you want to assign, also has a XP like start menu that again is customizable, i know this isn't exactly what you asked but is a way to control volume without jogger.

Simple solution, use Mortscript to write a volume control application and assign it to a hot key. I can whip you up one once my schedule clears up.. but probably not until this weekend.

Mortscripts are really simple, it uses a batch script language.. details and examples can be found on Mortscript (http://www.sto-helit.de/forum/index.php?sid=4d7d5c34f5880aa25c1e3fc828f15eff) and I believe we have an extensive script archive here on XDA

+1 that would be very cool! I keep hearing from the girlfriend what a POS the Joggr is (wasnt a big problem for me with bluetooth). I would switch the joggr to JUST scrolling duty and call it a day!

yes, we know...the problem is that it is easily bumped while talking, and hard to navigate.

I wrote one up quick this evening. This is a ultra simple script that will allow you to set the volume to max, mute the volume or select a volume level ( 0 to 255, 255 being max volume) let me know how it works for you and if you like this weekend I can refine it so it looks a bit nicer.
I tested it out on my Dash and once assigned to a hot key (speed dial) it can be called whenever you need it. You will need Mortscript installed of course so I added the latest mortscript cab to this archive. Install it, Mortscript, then copy over the two files Volume Utility.exe and .mscr to your device and run the mscr file both the exe and mscr file must remain together to work properly.

This was just a quicky :) I can add step up and down controls (low, midrange high and loudest) for ease of use, and make it a bit more user friendly (like allow the center button on the Dash to act as the ok button) I have been wanting to use Morts Butons so this might be a good time to try them out (makes the interface more adaptable and nicer looking). Since it works for you I will get a refined version to you this weekend.
Learning the script language is pretty simple, Google Mortscript and download the manual is the best way to learn it, that and looking at example scripts. I use Mortscript for everything on my Dash.. I have it nearly automatic anymore. It turns on in the morning, downloads my feeds, checks and downloads the weather and checks my google calendar then rings the alarm if I need to get up and go to work, if its the weekend it turns back off after all the updates are done and then turns on a couple hours later so its ready to go for me. I use scripts for everything (yeah I am lazy lol)

Ok, here is a new version of the Volume Utility. I added Low (30%) med (50%) and max (100%) settings. You can still adjust the volume by entering in a value, and of course mute the volume. A sound will play after any volume modifications to confirm the level.
I cant use Mort Buttons, its for PPC not smartphone but I am going to add the ability to choose your favorite colors and I am still working on adding step up and step down volume change ability via the directional pad
enjoy

Thanks Bupah That a big help! Is there a way to make the speed dial setting the space bar or something that isn't going to blast a tone to the other caller?

Fixed my own issue, as usual. Basically, when watching youtube on skyfire, the volume strip now works well, but before it was working only at times. And same for vtap.
