Thanks Johan for this patch,

The LPASS WSA macro codec driver is updating the digital gain settings
behind the back of user space on DAPM events if companding has been
enabled.
As compander control is exported to user space, this can result in the
digital gain setting being incremented (or decremented) every time the
sound server is started and the codec suspended depending on what the
UCM configuration looks like.
Soon enough playback will become distorted (or too quiet).
This is specifically a problem on the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s as this
bypasses the limit for the digital gain setting that has been set by the
machine driver.
Fix this by simply dropping the compander gain hack. If someone cares
about modelling the impact of the compander setting this can possibly be
done by exporting it as a volume control later.
This is not a hack, wsa codec requires gain to be programmed after the
clk is enabled for that particular interpolator.
However I agree with you on programming the gain that is different to
what user set it.
This is because of unimplemented or half baked implementation of half-db
feature of gain control in this codec.
We can clean that half baked implementation for now and still continue
to program the gain values after the clks are enabled.
lets remove spkr_gain_offset and associated code paths in this codec,
which should fix the issue that you have reported and still do the right
thing of programming gain after clks are enabled.
thanks,
Srini
