Volume slider scaling makes most of the range unusable

Issue: The volume slider appears to be using linear gain scaling instead of a logarithmic or dB based curve. As a result, the control is ineffective across most of its range and overly sensitive near the top.

• From 0 percent to roughly 50 percent, the output is almost inaudible. Below 30% is basically mute.
• Meaningful volume increase only starts above ~50 percent
• Between ~80 percent and 100 percent, very small adjustments cause very large jumps in loudness

My guess: The volume slider appears to apply gain linearly to the signal rather than using logarithmic or dB based scaling that matches humans logarithmic loudness perception.
