[PATCH] alsa: usb: Increase volume range that triggers a warning
Posted by Arun Raghavan 3 weeks ago
On at least the HyperX Cloud III, the range is 18944 (-18944 -> 0 in
steps of 1), so the original check for 255 steps is definitely obsolete.
Let's give ourselves a little more headroom before we emit a warning.

Fixes: 80acefff3bc7 ("ALSA: usb-audio - Add volume range check and warn if it too big")
