cannot detect modem on HDA bus
===========
hda - as a hub through which can be connected many devices (audio and
modem - which I know)

linux determined in all possible devices that are connected to hda

BSD made in the implementation wrong, because in many places there are
special control points to check - what this device.  And if this does not
sound - it is ignored that is - not universally

hence - Ariff only knows how to implement it hda code to add a modem
============
see patch for detect all HDA devices
on my machine I have sound and modem:

pcm0: HDA_DEBUG: Scanning HDA codecs [start index=0] ...
pcm0: HDA_DEBUG: Probing codec: 0
pcm0: HDA_DEBUG:    startnode=1 endnode=2

Fix: rewrite HDA

I have a laptop with built modem.
But it is not defined at boot time.
Also, it is not visible in the list pciconf-lv.
On how much I learned modem located on the bus hda.
I would like to use the modem to work, so I ask the developer to
finalize the driver hda to work correctly with other devices except for
the sound card.
When using a patch to hda I managed to see the modem, but to use it, I
could not.

Hi.

We can treat a modem codec as one of the "function group" like the
audio function group.  But almost all the structure of the modem
function group is vendor specific.  To control the modem codec, we
have to obtain the codec's specifications.

But I don't know a manufacturer which offers HDA modem codec's
datasheets.  So it is hard for us to write these codec's device
driver.

Listing a modem codec in a verbose dmesg is not so an important matter
(because we cannot use it now).


FYI, last year I tried to port the "slmodemd" daemon which supports
several number of modem codecs on Linux with the ALSA driver.

 http://homepage2.nifty.com/dumb_show/unix/slmodemd-FreeBSD.en.html

I could get some responses from the modem codec.  It generated sound
which was similar to a dialing and negotiation tone.  But I could not
use it as a modem at all.

State Changed
From-To: open->suspended

Latest snd_hda driver detects/reports all present codecs. But due 
to lack of codec specifications, modem support implementation 
looks very problematic.

batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND
- Untouched since 2018-01-01.
AND
- Affects Base System OR Documentation

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
