Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000, N100 laptop with an Intel HDA soundcard ( AD1986A chipset and Si3054 modem ) and I have been playing with slmodem-.2.11-20070813 with mixed success. If I run slmodem -c CANADA --alsa hw0:6 and use dip -t I can communicate with the modem and I can execute AT commands like ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 successfully but an ATO or an ATDTxxxxxxxxx returns an immediate error ( NO CARRIER ). Ditto if using wvdial ( with or without CarrierCheck = no ) . The init commands work fine but dialling fails with NO CARRIER. In addition slmodem gives a `period size 48 is not supported by playback (64) ' error which I thought was fixed in ALSA in version 1.0.15rc3 . Is it possible to use the ALSA driver with this chipset ? Is there an easy fix to the period size error ? Are there things I need to configure on the chip itself ? I had to tweak the INIT_VERBs to resolve another sound problem. peter ---- Peter Skensved Email : peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dept. of Physics, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
