A nice Volume Control Alternative

I bought a broken Mame cabinet on craigslist recently, for my brother in law. It had one of these inside:

The control pod was zip tied just inside the coin door. Brilliant!
My current setup is atrocious. I used VolumeTray with XYNTService and I have 2 dedicated buttons on my control panel for volume control. Sadly I only ever want to do one of 2 things. Turn the volume completely off, or set it to some specific level.

I'm planning on buying one of those Logitech speaker systems with the wired control pod for my cabinet. With the control pod, you can spin the dial to whatever setting you want, and everytime it reboots it will still physically be set there. There's also a button you can depress to kill the entire system. So you have volume control with the ability to recall after a boot and you have an easy mute option that doesn't interfere with reboot recall.

I'll put some button placers over the, unfortunately, dedicated volume buttons on my control panel and give them new life.
