Please see the attached images for one idea. The user would click the volume control button, which would pop up a volume control meter to the left of it. This would allow the user to adjust the volume by clicking inside the meter, which would add or remove a bar to the location clicked . After a pre-defined amount of time, the volume control would be dismissed. The volume control button would display a percentage when the volume is un-muted.<br>

</div></div>OK, I must admit that I haven't totally figured out where this all ends<br>
up in regards to the volume control. But, can someone explain what the<br>
plan is?<br>
<br>
Some things I know for sure:<br>
<br>
1) Radially clicking to change the volume needs to go.<br>
2) Radially dragging to change the volume needs to go.<br>
3) It needs to be very obvious exactly how to change it, which needs to<br>
either be clicking or vertical/horizontal dragging.<br>
4) The volume percentage should always be displayed.<br>
<br>
Given those requirements, any mockups? :-)<br>
