The volume control in VLC deserves a place somewhere in this list. It works fine if you click on it. But if you use the keyboard's up/down arrow keys, it seems to severely rate limit how fast you can increase or decrease sound. Not great when you need to stop a big bang from waking up your neighbors.
It also can go above 100%. And it seems that I can never get it back to 100% if I move it by mistake. Even using the keyboard it will never comes back to exactly 100%. Maybe 103%, or 98%. It drives me crazy.

Move it to 0%/200% by whatever means you'd like, then use keyboard increments to return it to 100%.
I dont know why, but sometimes I have this exact issue of mousewheel able to increase it by a step only every second or so, and sometimes it works perfectly.
I remember googling how to solve the issue, and I remember solving it back then, but I dont remember what it was. And it still happens sometimes, I have a feeling its related to some specific files being played.
It is ridiculous nonetheless
