Problem with no sound from Agere Smartlink Winmodem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Attached files:

  (1) ModemData.txt from scanModem
  (2) wvtestdial  from 'wvdialconf wvtest' & 'wvdial --config wvtest'

(Running under Mandriva 2008.0 PP on Toshiba laptop.)

Using the KPPP dialler, I can obtain a usable connection, but can hear no 
sounds (dialling tones, negotiation squawks) from the modem (although I can 
if I use the modem from Windows Vista) - although the M1L3 command was used.

As can be seen from attachment (2), I have also tried WVDIAL, but it kept 
reporting NO CARRIER.

Is there a way of obtaining sound from the modem?

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics ===== 
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

The ALSA verion is 1.0.15rc1
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

 The modem codec file for the the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1

Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x11c13026

The softmodem chip 0x11c13026 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd 
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.  
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary. Instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html

                        The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c13026
      

Support type needed or chipset:	slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-hda-intel
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd

 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
 	$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
 	 slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
	/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.2 and a compiler is not installed

 linux-headers-2.6.22.14-laptop-1.uc1mdv resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	gcc-4.2 make kernel-source-2.6.22.14-laptop-1.uc1mdv


If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options


In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
