Hi,
I have just bought this fine notebook, which includes a softmodem.
Attached is the ModemData.txt I got from scanModem.
I am using alsa-1.0.14rc2, under Kubuntu 6.10 with ubuntunized kernel 2.6.20.
After upgrading alsa I got the right entries in /proc/asound, so I ran
> root@dinovo:/home/pdinoto/slmodem/SLMODEMD.gcc4# ./slmodemd -c ARGENTINA
> --alsa hw:0,6 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Mar 13 2006 18:27:33
> symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/6' created.
> modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/6'
> Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
and can give AT commands. When trying to dial I get
> error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument
and the NO CARRIER error of course. Since I compiled alsa with debugging, I
see
> [ 1572.289000] ALSA .../alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/
> pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1153: hda-intel: invalid format_val, rate=9600, ch=1,

> hda_codec_setup_stream: NID=0x1, stream=0x0, channel=0, format=0x0
Any ideas?
I will appreciate any help. I am willing to help debugging this issue.

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 1.0.13. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/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: Marvin.Stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 17aa:2066
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
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,
