I am wondering if there is any way to avoid the annoying beeps that are heard when changing the call volume during a conversation turning the jog wheel. I try to raise the volume because I can't hear someone and I am greeted with those stupid beeps so I miss another piece of the conversation. What can be more annoying?!?!

Entering "beep when changing volume" into the search comes up with a solution to your problem.....

>>>It doesn't bother me, but people on the other end of the line complain that the beeping the Tytn makes when changing volume during a call is too loud. Especially the beep at the top end of the volume slider.

I did a little digging (after searching and checking the wiki fruitlessly) and found a solution that I thought I'd share. 8) I'm new here so I'll let someone else update the wiki if this looks useful.

There are actually 3 different sounds in play here: the one at the bottom end of the slider (quietest), the one in the middle posisitions (standard), and the one at the top end of the slider (loudest). These are handled by 3 registry keys:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardInCallVolume

within each of these keys the default 'Script' value is 'p' for 'play'

Change the 'Script' value to blank (erase the 'p')

Now the sounds won't be played and won't annoy your friends. Bonus - at least perceived by me - since the tytn isn't playing those sounds, the volume actually changes MUCH FASTER, practically instantaneously - the way you'd (or at least I'd) like it to.

Hope this is useful to someone...<<<
