yes, this should be true instead of a mute dB value.

yes, the highest value corresponds to lowest dB which is why its inverted.

HPHR/HPHL Volume control is broken on this codec.
current UCM uses digital volume control for x13s which needs to be moved 
to Analog volume control.
I have this change https://termbin.com/mpp9 in UCM which I plan to send 
out once I test and fix other paths as well.
