Script check-alsabat.sh fails with capture pipeline with volume scale max above 0 dB #436
Description
While checking SOF PR thesofproject/sof#3509 problem in CI I realised that the script fails when volume is set to max (+30 dB). In SOF the microphone capture pipelines have usually possibility for more than 0 dB gain.
If the script is sensitive to volume level it should set the gains to such value that the test is meaningful. E.g. walk trough each PGA and set their gain to 0 dB. Also possible volume switch should be set to "on" to avoid a muted PGA to fail the test.
