Filed a bug with Apple 6 months ago. Haven't heard anything and the bug is still there.
How to reproduce the bug on iPhone/iPad:
- start playing some music
- open control center and swipe down on the volume to mute it
- turn up the volume one click on the physical buttons
- swipe down on the volume in control center
- repeat turning up the volume with the buttons and muting in the control center until the control center volume stops affecting the actual volume
