To the best of my knowledge the SmartLink driver does not support sound
because before having the ALSA mode it worked only with SmartLink and
compatible hardware (not hda for example). The Linux driver for
SmartLink chips was written by a volunteer and sound support (needed to
hear whistles) was not ported to Linux.

Thank you Jacques
Actually I didn't hear modem whistles sound in Ubuntu while I heard it
in Windows.
May be ALSA setting hasn't completed?

Robikhun,
The whistles which you hear when starting the modem are the negotiations
about the best speed for the two connected modems.
They do not always succeed, and IN PARTICULAR if for whatever reason any
segment of the telephone line is wireless such as radio instead of cable
to reach small remote areas such as islands.
The difference between the Linux and Windows modem speed setting is most
often due to different driver code.
