There is no headphone playback volume, gree lineout and headphone jack have to share volume control since the other two audio outputs are used for surround, center/clfe It is strange that dB range is 115 as dB of audio outputs are -64 to 0 dB } control.2 { iface MIXER name 'Front Playback Volume' value.0 64 value.1 64 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 - 64' dbmin -6400 dbmax 0 dbvalue.0 0 dbvalue.1 0 } }
