    What can I do with my 2006 Core2Duo MBP?

    Remap external volume knob/wheel to fine volume control

    This has been a continuing annoyance for me. I love external knobs, have had them on my keyboards and recently purchased a big wheel just to have on the side. Because I love the feeling of wheeling! Feels great when I'm booted in Windows, I have 100 steps of volume to always play with. On MacOS...
