7.2.32 AUTO1 - Automode™ EQ, volume, GC (0x1F)
By setting AMEQ to any setting other than 00 enables Automode EQ, biquads 1-5 are not
user programmable. Any coefficient settings for these biquads will be ignored. Also when
Automode EQ is used the prescale value for channels 1-6 becomes hard-set to -18 dB.
Automode downmix setting uses channels 7-8 of Mix#1 engine and therefore these
channels of this function are fixed and not allowed to be user set when in this mode.
