 What fun is that?  I have learned that HP/Compaq is hostile to Linux,
for one thing, which was interesting (my system is a Compaq Presario
V2312US.)

 Can you help me find out why my codec is unknown?  I gave up trying to
figure out how to get the codec ID and hacked the source to print it:


atiixp: codec 0 not available for modem
atiixp: no codec available
ALSA device list:
  #0 ATI IXP rev 2 with 0x43585430 at 0xd0003400, irq 177


So it's a Conexant codec with ID 0x30 on an atiixp.  OSS has some support
for this codec, apparently.

Wait, that sounds like the modem, not the AC97 audio codec.

You might be able to get the modem to work with the (proprietary)
slmodem software modem, or something.  I wouldn't count on it though.

Does your sound work?

Well they may be hostile but so far no problems with a compaq r3240.
Well the silly TI media card reader is useless, but it's useless in
windows too (who limits cards to 512M these days?).

I know I am not going near ati hardware any time soon.

Conexant codec with ID 0x30 - this is AMC97 codec (audio + modem in one
codec) - maybe there is fight between sound and modem driver. On intel
this codec works ok - audio part. Modem part is not working and
snd-intel8x0m have to be in blacklist (otherways audio is not working)
- maybe same problem with ati.

Try to add snd-atiixp-modem to /etc/hotplug/blacklist

This should be applied IMO.  Can we get it in CVS?
