[hsflinux] Volume control issues..

[Lewis Hopfe]

Recently purchased a hp 2315nr laptop and I'm running Fedora 6. FC6
is 
updated and I'm running kernel version 2.6.20-1.2948.  I've included
the 
lspci output at the end of this E-mail.

I was told that the hsfmodem driver might be a solution for the
onboard 
modem. I tried the free version, and the modem worked so I purchased
the 
full version and installed the key. However, one thing that I didn't 
check was how this effected the sound card on my machine. Prior to 
loading the hsf driver, there were two volume controls in the mixer 
panel. One controlled the volume level/mute for the speakers the
other 
the headphone jack. This is a new one to me as all my other laptops 
turned off the speakers when the earphone was plugged in. I really
don't 
see the advantage to this setup, but that's the way the soundcard 
appears to operate.

After installing the hsf driver, there is only one volume control on
the 
mixer which controls the volume on both the speakers and the
headphones. 
This functions properly, but what's missing is the ability to mute
the 
sound in one or the other. After all, if I'm on my headphones I'd
prefer 
that the speakers weren't playing.

For the moment, I've removed  the hsf driver and gone back to the 
original driver, but my question is this:

When the hsf driver was installed did I miss a way to control
speakers 
and the headphones separately? I looked around and didn't see
anything, 
but this is one area of linux where I'm not very experienced. Is
there a 
way around this to where I can have the modem driver installed and
have 
proper control of the sound card?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
