Powermate sensitivity

I'm trying to get a Powermate to play nice in my install. Is there any way to lower the sensitivity on the thing? Right now it seems to raise/lower the volume in 5% or bigger increments and that is just too much. I have a lot of juice in my system and at 5% volume I can't even talk to someone comfortably in the car without shouting over the music.

I'd just like to have a bit more control over the precision of my volume in Streetdeck.

Are you using the new driver or the old?

I had the same problem with adjustments at the lower end and conversation in the car. Here's what I found out:

I downloaded the new "improved" driver from the powermate site and it would only adjust in 2% increments at the lowest.

a re-install of the original drivers gave me back my 1% adjustments and all was fine in the world again.

Try driverheaven.com or some other such site to get the older driver as griffin doesn't seem to have it available anymore..............
