A lot of people don't like to hear the dialling sounds. ;) I think you may have the answer Graham. I know some don't like to hear the modem but I have always liked the sound. Thanks for your comments anyway. I guess I will have to learn to live with the silence.	Pato (2463)

Adjust speaker volume here. 2. Control Panels/Network connections Right click connection icon and go to Properties Click on Configure under the modem name Tick the box enable modem speaker.

(wrong modem drivers can also cause problems with sounds, especially soft modems) if you Know that it uses it's own speaker then try this: Control Panel -> Phone and Modem options -> Modems -> Click on your modem and click 'Properties' -> Advanced tab -> and in "extra initialization commands" : Type Mn (where n is a number, 0 - 3, as shown below) Speaker control. Mode of speaker operation: n=0, speaker always OFF n=1, speaker ON when phone is off-hook speaker OFF when Carrier Detected n=2, speaker always ON n=3, speaker ON after dialing until Carrier Detected. Disable speaker when modem receives a carrier signal while modem is dialing. Also: Type Ln (where n is a number, 0 - 3, as shown below) Loudness of speaker volume n=0, low n=1, low n=2, medium n=3, high (L2 will give you the preferable medium setting) Example: for Speaker always on and set to high, type: M2L3 Using it this way will often work better than the other way of setting the volume and other speaker options.

Use the terminal emulator Hyperterm to talk to it directly. Type in AT . It should reply "OK}. Type in ATM2 . It should answer "OK" . Type in ATDT9999999 .(111111 would be a Bad Move). If you hear it dialing, the modem can let you hear it dialing.	Graham L (2)
419698	2006-01-11 01:56:00	Thanks for your help. I presume I can't cause any problems with the modem trying these instructions as at least I have a working modem at present all be it a silent one and this is all new to me.	Pato (2463)
419699	2006-01-11 02:01:00	No, it shouldn't do any harm. HyperT will let you make a "new connection " and after you play around with it a bit, it will let you talk to the modem. When you've satisfied yourself that the modem can make sounds you don't even have to save the "new connection" sio it won't have touched the working stuff. Then it would just be a small matter of making Windows give that "Hayes code" to the modem.	Graham L (2)

ATDT is a modem command to dial out, the 9's are just a test to see if the modem dials out so u can hear the modem dialling.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
