Hi, I tried the hw:0,1_or_hw:0,6 and the output is the execution of command. I am using GNome 2.22.1. manish@manish-laptop:~$ sudo slmodemd -c INDIA --alsa hw:0,1 [sudo] password for manish: error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0 error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,1': No such file or directory error: cannot setup device `hw:0,1' manish@manish-laptop:~$ sudo slmodemd -c INDIA --alsa hw:0,6 error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0 error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,6': No such file or directory error: cannot setup device `hw:0,6' That still failed. Please help. Regards, Manish.
