alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #595 was opened from valpackett:

The headphone enable sequence for all Qualcomm devices sets `CLS_H_ULP` mode:

I was trying to figure out why I was getting horrendous distortion on the headphone jack of my Dell Latitude 7455 laptop above a certain relatively-quiet volume level. After lots of fiddling and searching (thanks, [XDA forum audio modders](https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-audio-biquads-utilizing-qualcomms-audio-codec-fo...) from several years ago!) I figured it out. Changing that to `CLS_AB_HIFI` has completely fixed the distortion!

Should the default be changed to a HIFI mode for everyone, i.e. right in that file?
