Center volume dial randomly skipping volume change

When I turn my centre console volume dial one click at a time then some clicks are changing volume and some clicks do nothing. And there is no pattern, it's totally random. Is this expected behaviour and same for others as well? Does your dial every click respond with volume change? At least I expect it should.

I have this type of panel.

My 2023 E-450 does the same. I believe they expect you to quickly spin it up and down and thus it's not micro adjustable unless you are moving real slow. Mine skips, it's not exact

Yup, my experience as well, I am not sure why you can't fine tune it or change its behaviour/sensitivity.

I can do one click to lower but need to spin it fast to get it louder but it does not get louder very fast.
