Modem lost tone
Hi NG,
all of a sudden my modem does not sound any more when dialling up. I cannot adjust that nowhere. In properties it is on "ON", but it does not sound. I was trying to set up a guest account and therefore I wanted to set up a dial up connection (which failed up until now!) How can I get my modem to sound again when dialling up? And maybe how can I set up a internet connection for the guest user account to go online? Thanks for your help! -- Viktoria Fragstein XP Home SP2, Office 2003, IE + OE 6.0 |

Modem lost tone
Hi Viktoria,
I had a similar problem with a USB modem that was using my soundcard to output the dialtone and handshake signals. The issue was resolved by installing an updated modem driver. You might also want to have a look at device manager for any code 10 devices. Click start - run and type devmgmt.msc then click ok. Code 10 devices will have a yellow sign with an exclamation mark in it. You can fix these problems normally by uninstalling and reinstalling the device drivers. I suspect that your modem may have added a wave device to the system, and it is either muted or the driver is corrupt... however this is only speculation , and you may have an external modem with it's own speaker built in... Hope the above helps either way. -- ________ NIC ---------- Savage ________ "Viktoria Fragstein" wrote: Hi NG, all of a sudden my modem does not sound any more when dialling up.

Modem lost tone
The modem should work from a User Account or Guest Account.
You just won't be able to download and install software, etc. What kind of modem is it - Internal or external? If you hear the dialling from the modem from within the PC, it should have a setting under Phone and Modem Options in the Control Panel that enables the sound and increases/decreses the volume.

Modem lost tone
EASY to fix. When you adjust the modem tone by the control panel it overrides
your connection's settings....check both places "Viktoria Fragstein" wrote: Hi NG, all of a sudden my modem does not sound any more when dialling up. I cannot adjust that nowhere.

Modem lost tone
Hi Savage,
thanks a lot for your posting. I got sound-, video- and modem-chip on the motherboard. The driver is a 4 in 1 driver. I found out what causes the lost of tone, it happens whenever I either use a password for my user account (admin) or activate a next user account (guest). As soon as I deactivate guest respectively take off the password the modem got back its sound. Dear greetings, -- Viktoria Fragstein XP Home SP2, Office 2003, IE + OE 6.0 |
