That sounds like something that should be limited in UCM. > Higher then 4 not working matches my experience, see this comment from > the UCM file: alsa-lib/src/conf/ucm/codecs/es8316/EnableSeq.conf : > > # Set HP mixer vol to -6 dB (4/7) louder does not work > cset "name='Headphone Mixer Volume' 4" What does "does not work" mean more precisely? I checked the spec, there is indeed something wrong in the kernel driver here. The db scale is not a simple scale as the kernel source suggests. Instead it is: 0000 – -12dB 0001 – -10.5dB 0010 – -9dB 0011 – -7.5dB 0100 – -6dB 1000 – -4.5dB 1001 – -3dB 1010 – -1.5dB 1011 – 0dB So perhaps we can fix the kernel to follow this table and then use UCM to limit the volume if its too high on a given platform?
