Rueben, error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!! seems to be an a problem with ALSA 1.0.13 release for the snd-hda-intel code, that several have encountered. ste <ste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> has tried replacing the 1.0.13 with both later and forthcoming releases, but without success. He is filling a bugreport with ALSA. As I suggest a few emails bag, and alternative might be to install the prior supporting kernel, in his case and yours http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic while awaiting ALSA to work up a fix.

Hi everyone, I have the slmodemd (for the kernel ernel 2.6.20-16-generic) and it was compiled correctly with ALSA support and copied over /usr/sbin/ (after the chown command done). Then I ran: sudo /usr/sbin/slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa hw:0,6 and the output was: SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 May 29 2007 13:36:31 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. So it worked! Thereafter I did on a terminal ' sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' and the modem was configured. I also added some test data in the phone, login and pwd fields. However, running 'sudo wvdial' returns an error: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. ---> Sending: ATDT<32565298> ---> Waiting for carrier. ATDT<32565298> NO CARRIER ERROR --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Sending: ATDT<32565298> --> Waiting for carrier. And loops on forever. Note that I have added a 'Carrier Check = no' to wvdial.conf and 32565298 is real phone number where I can hear the modem calling in. It also says it couldn't get the serial port info...is this critical? On the terminal I'm getting the error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!! I also need to make the modem load on startup and be available to other users besides the root.
