The difference is what are real values to be passed to the hardware.
The driver scales down and shifts to 0-minimum for ALSA controls in
anyway, so the appearance on user-space would be same, but the values
to be actually applied to the hardware matter.

You should check the actual raw values and see the influence on the
hardware at first in trial-and-error manners.  This also means to
figure out the corresponding dB level, too.  The rest depends whether
it's a linear mapping with a parameter correction or better to replace
with the fixed values, etc.
