252757 2004-07-16 06:58:00 Prior to updating modem driver there was no sound when connecting,now it makes the most horrible sounds.I have turned sound off in control panel.

It's a SoftV92 Smart Speaker phone.
XP OS.

Any help would be appreciated.

252758 2004-07-16 07:18:00 Try this:

Control panel, network connections, click properties on your connection icon, On the general tab click Configure, In the modem configuration window remove the tick in the box "enable modem speaker"

This is from xp and I not sure if its the same on other systems.

252759 2004-07-16 12:51:00 If you still can hear the modem sound after gerrypics advice, take a look at the FAQ 35: How do I stop my modem making noise? (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz), for further options. Note, the FAQ will take a while to load. :) Jen C (20)
252760 2004-07-16 12:55:00 remove the carp driver from start-up if its there ,its purpose is to play the modem handshake via your desktop speakers,a hidious noise,even worse when amplified.....the logic behind it escapes me completley. metla (154)

If you get infected by a rogue dialer you will still be able to hear it in action if it starts up while you are offline.
