Charlotte, Try shutting down all non-essential functions before trying the modem. Then $ sudo modrpobe -r snd-intel8x0m to unload, and then reload the driver: $ sudo modrpobe snd-intel8x0m then the slmodemd command, first trying with modem:1 and if failure modem:0 $ sudo slmodemd -c UK --alsa modem:N remember to leave slmodemd running, and dial from a 2nd console $ sudo wvdial MarvS On Jan 6, 2008 12:18 PM, Charlotte Hammond <omegam1nus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, > > My apologies for the delayed reply; the laptop in question is my mother's and I came back to uni a week ago so I haven't had access to it. > I have just spoken to my mother though and apparently it's all stopped working. > > The hw:0 option that previously worked now returns and error message along the lines of: > error: mixer setup offhook switch not found for card hw:0 > error: alsa setup cannot open playback device hw:0 : device busy (not exact wording) > > modem:0 > error: mixer setup: offhook switch not found hw:0 > alsa lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) unable to find definition "cards.ICH.pcm.modem.0:CARD =0" > alsa lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: no such file or directory > alsa lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) evaluate error: no such file or directory > alsa lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) unknown PCM cards.pcm.phoneline:CARD=0,DEV=0 > error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device modem:0: no such file or directory > error: cannot setup device modem:0 > > hw:1 and modem:1 > error: alsa setup cannot open playback device hw:0 : device busy > > Just to note that when I was trying to sort the modem out I never received that error messae for modem:0 - that's a new occurance. > > I can't really tell you much more than that as it is difficult to determine what's going wrong with it without having the laptop in front of me - though if you have any ideas they would be much appreciated : ) > > Charlotte > . > > > > ---------------------------------------- > > Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 17:15:36 -0500 > > From: marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx > > To: omegam1nus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; sashak@xxxxxxxxx > > Subject: Re: modemness > > > > Charlotte > > > > Thanks for reporting that the setting hw:0 worked. > > This is totally unexpected since in: > > /proc/asound/pcm: > > 00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC : capture 1 > > 00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1 > > 01-00: Intel ICH - Modem : SiS SI7013 Modem - Modem : playback 1 : capture 1 > > ------------ > > the last 01-00 predicts modem:1 ,or its hw:1 equivalent > > Would you please test the functionality of modem:0 and hw:1 > > modem initiation settings, and report back. > > > > MarvS > > > > > On Dec 29, 2007 3:51 PM, Charlotte Hammond wrote: > >> > >> Hey again, > >> Just to let you know that I got it working: > >> > >> Somewhere in one of the .txt files it mentioned that in rare cases 'hw:0' should be entered instead of 'modem:1' and it worked. > >> > >> Great website btw ^_^ > >> > >> Charlotte > >> > >> ---------------------------------------- > >>> Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 12:54:00 -0500 > >>> From: marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx > >>> To: omegam1nus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >>> Subject: Re: modemness > >>> CC: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >>> > >>> Charlotte, > >>> > >>> You need to use sudo > >>> $ sudo slmodemd -c UK --alsa modem:1 > >>> > >>> Also use > >>> $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem > >>> to remove the # in front of > >>> # snd_atiixp_modem > >>> # snd_via82xx_modem > >>> as these drivers are for other hardware. > >>> > >>> MarvS > >>> > >>> On Dec 29, 2007 11:30 AM, Charlotte Hammond wrote: > >>>> > >>>> Hey, > >>>> > >>>> Here is the modem data, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what to do next.
