If this was working for you in Noble, then I'm curious what has caused
it to regress. I suspect there's something is going wonky due to the
large volume range reported from that USB DAC (-100dB, 0).

Looking through how the volume is managed from the gnome-shell volume
control into pipewire, it all looks reasonable. In the ALSA layer I can
see some room for quirks, but we'd have to take this upstream to get a
confirmation there.

In the meantime, can you try this workaround?

Create ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/alsa-soft-mixer.conf
with,

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      {
        device.name = "alsa_output.usb-E-MU*"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        api.alsa.soft-mixer = true
      }
    }
  }
]

Ensure the PCM volume of the DAC is at 100% in alsamixer, and restart
the daemon,

systemctl --user restart pipewire{,-pulse}{.service,.socket}
wireplumber.service
