This one stumps me. I am using a Thinkpad T41 that contains a Smartlink modem that does work well with the snd-intel8x0m driver, but only after loading it manually.
By default the system will load the module at system start and the sl-modem-daemon scripts runs without error. However, when trying to dial there is no dial tone and the modem device appears to go into a hanged state and is no longer responsive. Yet, I can blacklist the snd-intel8x0m driver in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist and the sl-modem-daemon init script will start without error at system start, but the modem device is not present. I can then log in as root and start the sl-modem-daemon script manually and the modem works great. So, when snd-intel8x0m is loaded by the kernel/udev system at start it is inoperative. When it is loaded later by manually running the sl-modem-daemon init script it does work. When it is loaded automatically ALSA sees it and the various sound mixers see the modem device. When it is loaded manually ALSA does not see the modem device. I have setup the sound devices in /etc/modprobe.d/sound as follows: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0m options snd-intel8x0m index=1 enable=1 Looking through my logs I find no errors. It would be nice if I could get the thing to work automatically but I don't know if the problem is module related or ALSA related. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
