refer to ice1712/prodigy_hifi.c , why the comment is -64dB to 0dB ?
/*

/*

static int ak4396_dac_vol_info(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, struct
snd_ctl_elem_info *uinfo)
{
uinfo->type = SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_INTEGER;
uinfo->count = 2;

return 0;
}
This is true regardless of the precision of the multiplier. Even a one-

This mean that the dB range should be calculated from the next step above
the min_dB and max_dB when min_dB regarded as a mute switch
