Not sure, but that could be a sign that the line-out is really just another headphone jack out (technically speaking, that is). With my Creative ZVM, when I use the line out dock, the volume control ceases to work.

Anyone have any thoughts whether my observation is wrong with the Zune? I mean, the dock does have a line out-like plug, but again, not sure if the sound is any different than using the headphone jack.
What I read some time back (so this could be wrong) was that the Dock has an amp in it, so the remote will do volume up and down. I'm not sure this makes any sense to me though. Either way, I'd still like to be able to just plug in a cable at the bottom of the unit instead of the jack.
