Oleg Re: Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: MOT66 This is one of the rarer Codecs. May not make a difference, but try: # slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1 Also might help to compile your own slmodemd wirth 2.6.23 resources. Note that this compile must be done within the modem/ subfolder of the slmodem-latest_version package: # make ALSA_SUPPORT=1 but check this syntax, I'm not under Linux now. Then manually replace the /usr/bin/slmodemd MarvS On 10/21/07, Oleg Mikheev <omikheev@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi! > > I have a Motorola modem: > Ven 8086, Dev 24C6, Rev 03 > Following instructions from ModemData.txt doesn't work: > (on vanilla 2.6.23.1) > > # slmodemd --alsa modem:1 > ALSA lib confmisc.c:1283:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition > 'cards.ICH-MODEM.pcm.modem.4:CARD=1' > ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer > returned error: No such file or directory > ALSA lib conf.c:3972:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or > directory > ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM > cards.pcm.phoneline:CARD=1,DEV=4 > error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': No such file > or directory > error: cannot setup device `modem:1' > > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
