Ah, OK.  Then the control seems indicates the wrong max level indeed.
So, we need two fixes:

- rename "Mux Capture Volume" to more intuitive one, such as "Capture
  Boost" or something like that.

- limit the max level of this volume to 2.

The latter is a bit hard to fix.  Let's see whether I can do some
hack...
