The reason you see the options for "caller

the Intel HDA chipset also includes a modem. My laptop uses Intel HDA,
and I'm used to the modem part showing up as if it were an audio device.
Yes,
looks like you are right. But do those options have any real-life
purpose?
The audio works on my laptop except for an inability
to record from the
mic input. Last I heard, ALSA was blaming the kernel, and kernel
developers were blaming ALSA. Although I haven't tried it since my most
recent kernel update.
How con the kernel be a problem since Alsa includes its own
kernel modules?
I guess the kernel does not restrict the modules in working with the
hardware the way they need to.
And one more question: does anybody have speaker mute feature working on
ANY hardware? I never had it working neither on my laptops nor my
desktops. Maybe it's a missing feature, not a bug?
