Hi,

I have R40 with this modem and soundcard:

lspci

...
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01)
...

After boot I can communicate with modem (via minicom) but
can't play music. When I run alsaconf soundcard starts
working, but I can't communicate with modem. When I restart
slmodem (which is init script) modem works but soundcard
doesn't.

Also, when I start alsaconf /dev/ttySL0 (modem device)
disappears.

Could you please help me with this?

I don't probably understand some basic things here as I
switched to alsa two weeks ago and started experimenting with
modem a week ago.

Thank you,
Robert
