Table 32 DAC Volume Control
13.7.2
The WM8351 has a soft mute function which, when enabled, gradually attenuates the volume of the
DAC output. When soft mute is disabled, the gain will either gradually ramp back up to the digital gain
setting, or return instantly to the digital gain setting, depending on the DAC_MUTEMODE register bit.
The DAC is soft-muted by default (DAC_MUTE = 1). To play back an audio signal, this function must
first be disabled by setting DAC_MUTE to 0.
Soft Mute Mode would typically be enabled (DAC_MUTEMODE = 1) when using DAC_MUTE during
playback of audio data so that when DAC_MUTE is subsequently disabled, the sudden volume
increase will not create pop noise by jumping immediately to the previous volume level (e.g. resuming
playback after pausing during a track).
Soft Mute Mode would typically be disabled (DAC_MUTEMODE = 0) when un-muting at the start of a
music file, in order that the first part of the track is not attenuated (e.g. when starting playback of a
new track, or resuming playback after pausing between tracks).

DAC left and DAC right volume do not
update until a 1 is written to either
DAC_VU register bit.
Left DAC digital volume control:
