Chris Your modem from Archical information is expected to be in the 1179:ff10 Subsystem of your audio card Try: $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,1 and also $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 But there is lack of audio card data which suggests a problem. Is your Audio system working? I'll send you direct another diagnostic tool.
