If you mean that the speaker volume has no effect on the line-out level, then 
that's how it should be. Line audio is (by definition) fixed. You may find an 
'output gain' on some cards, but not the lower range ones.

  Other weirdness is it has controls for

But since some cards have them it's easiest to make a user app handle them 
anyway...

I can't remember if the speaker out, line out worked

Don't think it's a problem with either - I'd never expect a volume to control 
a line connection. That's equivalent to your hifi volume affecting the 
tape-out connections...
