 Well I'll be...

 I'd assumed from the (confusing) messages that the sound card was
not working, but it seems fine.  Shouldn't the error messages from
atiixp-modem be prefixed with that name instead of "atiixp"?

Untested patch follows.

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

 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?

Re: [Alsa-devel] Re: Brand-new notebook useless with Linux...

[Peter Zubaj]

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
