This part of the diagnostic: ----------- Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G " package="both hcfpcimodem and hsfmodem" CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=8086:27d8 SUBSYS=1019:2633 IRQ=193 IDENT=HCF.HSF -------------- should be ignored, with respect to the audio card being involved. My scanModem code is NOT sophisticated enough to automatically deal with the case when there is both a PCI Conexant card and a Audio card which may host a modem chip. >From the accumulated information, it is worth while FIRST unloading the hsfmodem software, and then testing the hcfpcimodem package for your kernel.
