Creative MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 wired remote

I have the Creative MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 speakers. The wired remote is a bit of a pain when it comes to adjusting sound volume. Unlike knobs that turn, this remote has a up and down button to push - and pushing the button increases (or decreases) the volume more per push than I would like. It doesn't allow for more subtle or smaller increases (or decreases).

Is there a way to adjust this? Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a speaker system with comparable or better sound quality that also has a better remote?

Perhaps while you are waiting for other ideas you could look at this page for Creative
