===== 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.
PCI slot 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card
The ALSA verion is 1.0.13
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 2
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xd0500000 irq 17
Modem support under STAC92xx audio card hosts may require upgrade
of snd-hda-intel + its dependent drivers to ALSA version 1.0.16.
The following modem only worked after the upgrade from to 1.0.16 from 1.0.14

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package
libc6 are commonly installed by default. When compiling ALSA drivers,
the utility "patch" will also be needed.
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
