Sound becomes unbalanced using amixer to change volume

I have small dial on the front of my computer (Acer 5920) that maps to XF86AudioRaise and -Lower when turned to the left or right respectively. I mapped it in xbindkeys to the command 'amixer set Master +/-5%'. The only problem is that when raising or lowering the volume, sometimes only one channel gets set because the key presses are registering too fast I guess. I'm wondering if there is a way to keep both channels in sync, or otherwise to slow down the repetitions of that key. Thanks much.
