Christoph KindlerandClaude Opus 4.6 46770774b5 Unmute ALSA capture switch in ASUS ROG mic fix
The Realtek ALC285 defaults to capture switch off. With
api.alsa.soft-mixer enabled, PipeWire no longer manages the hardware
mixer, so the switch stays off and the internal mic records silence.

Adding `unmute` to the amixer set command ensures the hardware capture
path is enabled.

# Fix internal mic gain on ASUS ROG laptops with Realtek ALC285.
# The mic boost is way too high by default, causing clipping.
# Sets levels and stores ALSA state so it persists across reboots.
