===== 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 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: STAC92xx Digital : STAC92xx Digital : playback 1

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfebfc000 irq 21
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

Revision Id: 0x100000
Modem Function Group: 0x2
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x14f12c06
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x14f12c06 a softmodem chipset.
Get a hsfmodem package through http://www.linuxant.com
If not a Conexant modem, the driver hsfmodem-drivers with its dependent drivers:
----------
provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within the FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.25.5_1.1_pae
They can be found through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home folder is OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
Support for Conexant chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards may require
installation of additional packages, one of the alsa-driver-linuxant packages
on http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ At the same time download the
alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch , in case it prove to be later needed. During the
hsfmodem install, there will be a message if there is necessary installation of
alsa-driver-linuxant
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
alsa* -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
There may a message that "Dependencies" are not satisfied. In this case the Ubuntu/Debian packages to be installed are linux-libc-dev & libc6-dev. Package
names may be different for other Linuxes. If not on your install CD, these
packages can be searched for at http://packages.ubuntu.com. After download,
they can be coinstalled with:
dpkg -i li*.deb
Again try the alsa-driver-linuxant
There may be a message that the patch must be applied. In this case get the
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch
See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement snd-hda-intel + its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/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 n. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
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 packages.
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 pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 304644 2008-06-07 01:51 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
