Volume step adjusting?

How can I change the step of the volume adjustment in windows? Now it adjusts by 2 every time I press volume up or down buttons on my keyboard (without any driver) or rotate the mouse wheel 1 step after clicking on the volume icon - I would like to change
that value to 1, 5 or even 10, how can I do that? is there a key in the registry to do it?

 

Whats the Keyboard Shortcut to Adjust Volume?

Old thread appeared in searching for solutions how to set keyboard shortcuts to adjust Windows 10 volume. Dalchina's helpful pointers lead to finding yet another suitable up-to-date free app by grandmaster Nir Sofer : View / change sound volume on Windows 10/7/8/2008 from command-line or GUI

Step 1: Fire up SoundVolumeView and find your sound device by selecting (un)mute with right mouse
Step 2: Go to File menu> Create Desktop Shortcut> select Increase and select Decrease Volume 5%
Step 3: Right click each shortcut> Properties> Shortcut to set preferred hotkey. E.g. + and - on numpad
Step 4: Right click each shortcut again> Properties> General and tick Hidden - Apply - Ok

Voila! Hopefully helpful to someone sometime (Y)

 

WM6 and WM5 call volume adjustment

OK, why does making a volume control adjustment while talking on the phone require you to press "Done"? It's totally unintuitive. Here's why: You're on the phone calling an automated phone system, the volume is too low or high, you make a quick adjustment
with your ear still pressed to the phone because it's easy, and then you go to press "1" or whatever number, and you can't, because the screen for your volume adjustment is waiting for you to press "Done".

YES, I'M DONE ADJUSTING THE VOLUME, THANK YOU, "SMART" PHONE. Why on earth do you have to "approve" a volume adjustment? I know of no other phone that requires this. Is there an option to eliminate this? It's annoying and completely unnecessary.
