Custom Volume Control?
Is there a way to add my own custom volume control as opposed to using the one in the player?
I'm doing all my own custom buttons and nav for a new project so I'd like to "claim" the bottom space that that volume indicator requires in the player.
I'm guessing probably not, or maybe eventually with the SDK, but I thought I'd ask. 
There is no way to do this. I just turn it off. If people want to adjust volume they can use the volume controls on their computer.
This is an example of Storyline 2 audio controls (Flash and HTML5). The controls contain Mute, Volume change (via slider), rewind audio to the beginning, Play/Pause toggle, audio progress indicator and Closed Captions for good measure. Its an old post, but maybe some might still find this useful.
I built on an existing Steve Flowers flash file, but changed the direction of the communication with the Flash file (Javascript calls the flash function).
It is tested in IE Edge (Flash and HTML5) , Win Chrome (HTML5) , iOS and Mac Safari (HTML5), Pixel Chrome (HTML5) so far.

I just decided to try and do the same thing (all custom nav) and realized that the volume button is still taking up all that space.
I assume by the fact that there have been no other posts on this thread since May... that no one has come up with anything?
It would be great if articulate could make customized audio controls a new feature.
Hi Cassidy,
There isn't a way to remove the player audio control and place it within a part of the slide or another part of the player. There have been a few custom examples shared on how to create an audio toggle button and that set up may assist you such as this example.
Thanks Godwin and we love to see more examples, but I did want to note that you shared a link to a course hosted on Google Drive, and they're going to stop supporting hosting come mid August so you may want to look at one of the other hosting options here.
Don't think you can do this but if you find a solution let me know.
Same question here. I really would like to add my own volume button. Any help ?
Is there are variable called Volume, which can then be assigned a percentage value?
Just a though, how this could be achieved.

Unfortunately, custom volume controls aren't accessible via the player or variables. You could build your own Flash-based widget to control volume. Here's a widget example for muting audio. This only works in the Flash output:
