You can't. Because you will read -40db when HP isn't playing sound. That
is why the gain is saved into the struct.

Let me know, when you change de gain to do a ramp down (start from user
gain to gain=-40db), next time for the ramp up, how/where do you find
the user gain ?

When microphone isn't capturing, the gain read back from the register is
0dB. I've put some logs in my code and do capture to show how it works:

Ok the name is the issue for you AFAII.
This control isn't for on/off but swap Left and Right.
From the codec documentation:
"Swaps audio UL L/R channel before UL SRC"
This control is overkill, I will remove it

I'm stuck to run mixer-test, please check the following message:
