Comment 6 for bug 358131

@Wolf-Jakob: does your volume really change only 5% per mouse wheel step? 5% should not change very quiet into very loud.

Please check further if your volume changes are very big in the load range but very small in the quiet range (or vice-versa). Perhaps certain sound card drivers have a linear volume range whereas others have a logarithmic one. This should be standardized and wrong drivers must be fixed then.
