Subject: Warning! Unlikely big volume range (=9234), cval->res is probably
 wrong. (Dell XPS 13 9360 and Plantronics Blackwire 315.1

Dear Linux folks,


On the Dell XPS 13 9360, plugging in a USB headset, I saw the warning 
below the first time since using the devices since December 2023.

```

(`/sbin/alsa-info` [1])

I am unable to reproduce this. Is that a problem with the headset, the 
laptop or something else?

Looking at the archive of Linux messages archive of *Hardware for Linux* 
[1], the message shows up quite often.


Kind regards,

Paul
