I agree with Greg and Larry about this control.

I think the goal needs to be immediate results as one arrows up or down,
so that the adjustment becomes one of comfort with what one hears as
opposed to some numeric value.

So, my suggestion is to simply present the current value in a control
where up and down raise and lower the volume, or sonic parameter.
Perhaps  m could serve as a toggle for mute..

This has the makings of a very nice tool. Way to go, Willem!
