3. The Volume at the ALC Operation
The current volume value at the ALC operation is reflected by VOL7-0 bits. It is enable to check the current volume value
by reading the register value of VOL7-0 bits.
This function is available only at the time of 3-wire mode. The volume value at the ALC operation can
not be read in I2C mode.
