I have Windows XP, Home Edition. I was able to hear my modem dialing out
through the speakers, until just a few days ago. I am sure something got
changed but I am not sure what. I checked to be sure the little box was
still checked for "enable modem speaker", under the "Modem Configuration"
folder. The speakers are working just fine. What else am I missing here?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Shelly
 
Under device manager click on properties for the modem. Under the Modem Tab
check the speaker volume slide bar.

Hi Robert:

I checked and the speaker volume is on high. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Did you hear it through external speakers? A silly idea (that happened
to me last week). Make sure that the speakers are plugged in to the
correct jack on you PC.
 
Yes..........the speakers are external and they are plugged into the correct
jacks, nothing has changed there. I can hear everything else except when
the modem dials out. Too weird for words. I guess I should be glad that AT
LEAST I am able to dial out and connect fine. I just miss not hearing it
"do it's thing"!!! LOL

I had this happen on a W98 system after letting Adaware & Nortons
loose on a badly infected system - found heaps of spyware which it
removed. Nortons also found some problems and it deleted some files.

Try deleting the modem and reinstalling it.
