The reason you see the options for "caller ID" and "off hook" is that
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.
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.
$8 USB audio dongle? Where did you find such a thing? Tell me more.

Greetings!
I've a very annoying problem with ALSA on my new Toshiba P205: I
can not
mute speakers when headphones are connected via a
jack. There is an
option in alsamixer called 'headphone' that just enables the
sound in
the jack, but does NOT mute the speakers.
Can anybody help? lsmod and lspci output attached.
Ubuntu Gusty tribe 2, kernel 2.6.22
Other 'strange' things:
1) option 'caller id'. No idea what it is.
2) option 'off-hook'. No idea what it is.
3) channel called 'speakers' does not control sound level or
mute the
speakers!
Ask on ALSA list, but, last I checked, hda-intel == useless peice
of shit.
I gave up after being told that there was no hope of hda-intel
ever working properly on linux. I use an external sound device (M-
Audio FastTrack Pro USB) and it works beautifully.
Even a cheap US$8 USB audio dongle worked well, and much better
than the hda-intel.
