This looks wrong, and indeed that forth argument appears to be a mute
flag. I guess that one should have been 0 (false) here?

Headphone output also appears to be way too loud by default with this
patch (alone) applied. Perhaps it's just the default mixer settings need
to be updated to match?

It looks like you're inverting the scale above. Perhaps that's intended,
but some more details in the commit message as to what was wrong and
what you intended to do would have been good.
