That's odd.  How can it worsen?  As far as I understand from the patch
descriptions, the USB-audio patch corrects only the mixer volume
control names, while the HID patch changes the quirk to be generalized
(to be dropped the next key in a short period).  If only USB audio
patch is applied, it doesn't matter as the volume binding didn't
happen before the patch.  OTOH, ditto, if only HID patch is applied.
Am I missing anything here?

Applying both from the single tree is possible, sure.  One of two
needs an ack from the subsystem maintainers.
