First, let me thank you for a very nice sound driver.  However, I have a small
problem which I would like to relate:

I have a Dell Precision workstation with a Crystal CS4237B on the motherboard.
The computer also has a built-in speaker which is somehow connected to the
sound card.

Whenever I load the sound driver, the speaker is shut off and I can no longer
hear anything from it, including the system "beep".  Instead, everything is
routed to the line-out jack on the back of the computer.

Presumably there is a channel from the soundcard to the speaker, and this is
muted on initialization.  But there doesn't appear to be any controller for
it, at least not using "amixer" or "alsamixer".  Do you know of any way that
I can turn on the system speaker again?

Thanks,
