The VendorID 0x10573055 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the snd-hda-intel driver included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of 0x10573055 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.13. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg0????.html The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver update. Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 . A candidate driver could not be identified.
