Your drivers are the 1.014rc2.  The
ALSAversion 1.0.11
is parsed from the output of "aplayer --version"  which is the old
version unless you want to also compile and install the 1.014rc2
alsa-utils package.
Please send me the dmesg.txt  from the output of
$ dmesg >  dmesg.txt
More info later.

hi list - i have the 0x11c11040 softmodem chip made by agere.  i
downloaded the 1.014rc2 drivers, compiled, installed, and rebooted.  when
i run scanModem again, it still seems to be using the old version
(1.0.11).  see below for ModemData.txt.  this modem is so close to
functioning, i can send an atz in minicom, but when i send an atdt command
it immediately responds with 'no carrier'.

ALSAversion 1.0.11
8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.


The VendorID 0x11c11040 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the
snd-hda-intel driver
included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set.  However recognition of
0x11c11040 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.14rc2. There are
instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-sixth/msg05023.html
The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the
driver update.
Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .


There may be novel modem chipset information within the /proc/asound/
files. They have been copied and packed into a file: Modem/11c1.tgz
Please send 11c1.tgz to the scanModem maintainer:

 It will enrich the Archive and help others!
 -------------------------------------------
 Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
 intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
 with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-hda-intel
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:
slmodemd

 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under
Linux with:
        $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
        sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
        /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

 Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it
depends on,
