Allow me to make a suggestion.  The numbers in the volume control are
supposed to be physical units, in decibels/65536.  You are specifying
very, very tiny amounts, and all on the amplification side, not the
attenuation side.  Most volume controls are just attenuation, so that
their controls have a range that is entirely on the negative side, and
perhaps some part of the XP audio stack makes that assumption.

Try this.  Pretend that your range is actually -40 dB to +9 dB.  So,
make the minimum 0xFFC80000, the maximum 0x00090000, and the step
0x00010000.  Then, in your volume set handler, convert that to your
numbers by doing:
    iOrdinal = ((int)iPropValue >> 16) + 40;
and in your volume "get" handler, convert like this:
    iPropValue = (iOrdinal - 40) << 16;
