If I may, current dial approach creates a nice symmetric and good looking
toolbar.

What about instead of changing it to slider, *fix* current approach. In
current approach on hover event does nothing more but just changes single
color setting. Instead it should display what would happen if you click at
that exact spot on a wheel. If you hover on a 10% mark, only 10% of a wheel
should get highlighted, ir on the 95% - 95% etc.

 The most important aspect should be high enough contrast (so user would
spot how volume level changes based on a mouse movement). Might be by using
100% black; or some red shade; or a green bookmark icon; or using 2 colors -
dark grey for a 0% to x%, and almost white for x% to 100% (where x is
expected volume percentage; in current approach x% to 100% is left
transparent)

Best Luck,

Lukas
