What happens when software is at 0%, your slider is at 100% and you want to raise the volume?
You put the slider all the way down to 0, which is then mapped the the range from 0-0 and then you move it back up?!

I've worked with hundreds and hundreds of users over a decade and this is not a thing, no idea what you're talking abut. Learn to set your gain properly on your external amplifier, it's a you problem, not Windows.
Your experience does not invalidate my experience. I have had the same bad behavior across multiple versions of Windows, using multiple different loudspeakers, headsets and headphones, all the while it worked perfectly well in GNU/Linux distributions, where I can set volume like a sane person would, instead of like on Windows, where I need to micro management between 1 and 5 out of 100. The fact, that this is a well…

I think it does invalidate it. Working for MSPs and contracting I've seen more in 10 years than someone at one company sees in their entire career. I've never heard of this issue ever. 100s of users > than your one anecdote sorry.
But how about we add more anecdotes from other people?
You will find a lot of posts online, if you search for something like: "windows volume mixer too loud". For example:

As another data point, one friend of mine bought an external audio interface, because of these and other annoyances in Windows and now regulates the volume using that.

I never have my hardware "maxed out". Usually barely 50%. But anyway, all of my Windows using friends have the same problem and find it equally ridiculous. Seems like whatever Windows does by default on our machines is just a not working so well default.

This experience is rare, evidenced by the many normal benchmarks and gameplays that exist with this, and similar combos. But other people also experienced it, such as this user:

I have since swapped my 5700 xt to a 6600 xt, and the issue went away. The new owner of the 5700 xt is also happy as a clam at high tide. I'd wager that maybe a few hundred of people experienced this at most.

Depends, which OS are you on? The first search result (eqMac [1]) says it supports Hotkeys. Hopefully you can find one that meets your reqs! -- 1: https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac
I had of course already checked and it does not. https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac/issues/380
So please remind me of why your condescending comment was necessary?

This is an ancient problem which has been around since synthesizers first got patch memory in the 1970s like the Prophet-5. There are a number of ways to handle the knob or fader's physical position not matching the current value: * As soon as the control is touched, it becomes "live" and the value jumps to wherever it is. This is the simplest, but most disruptive approach because a value can jump abruptly. * When th…
Those tradeoffs are what I meant by nasty surprises. The solution 1 would be totally unacceptable to me. And yes by rotary encoders I meant those that rotate indifinitely. And I miss my Elektron Model:Sample, too bad it lacked the sampling function otherwise I would have kept it.
