Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Revert "ALSA: usb: Increase volume range that triggers a warning"
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2026 05:37:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260301213726.428505-2-i@rong.moe> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260301213726.428505-1-i@rong.moe>

UAC uses 2 bytes to store volume values, so the maximum volume range is
0xFFFF (65535, val = -32768/32767/1).

The reverted commit bumpped the range of triggering the warning to >
65535, effectively making the range check a no-op. It didn't fix
anything but covered any potential problems and deviated from the
original intention of the range check.

This reverts commit 6b971191fcfc9e3c2c0143eea22534f1f48dbb62.

Fixes: 6b971191fcfc ("ALSA: usb: Increase volume range that triggers a warning")
