Subject: [PATCH v7 3/8] ALSA: usb: babyfacepro: add mic preamp, phantom/pad and input trim
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 12:31:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027113140.134257-4-i.bahloul01@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027113140.134257-1-i.bahloul01@gmail.com>
Add the input side of the mixer: phantom power and pad, the instrument
ref level, the four preamp gains, and phase invert, stereo split and
trim. The mic gain byte is packed: bits 0-4 count 3 dB steps and bits
5-7 hold the 0-2 dB remainder. Phase, split and trim have no
registers of their own - the device implements them on the crosspoint
registers of the AN1/2 monitor bus - and trim combines with the
current fader value on the crosspoint fader curve, which this patch
adds.
bf_state_apply_flags() re-applies phase, split and trim on top of a
restored crosspoint state. A failed preamp write leaves the cached
state as it was.
