Vanishing dial up connection tone
 

Hello group,
My mom complained about that when he connected to the internet by dial
up connection the typical tone was gone; although the internet is
properly connected by the same means. SHe checked the PC sound system
and its still run normally.
I would like to know how did the dial up connection tone vanish? Does
it have to do with the ISP provider changing or making the connection
silent or its the fault of the PC?
TIA
Roy

Go to device manager..right click the modem..properties and on one of the
tabs there is a way to adjust the modem volume.

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Phone and Modem | Modems | [select the
modem used | Properties | Modem (or Advanced) | Speaker Volume (turn it on).

If no joy, her speakers or Sound may be out of whack. See if you hear the
tone through headphones.

Hmm that is interesting , but if the modem volume have never been
adjusted in the past then how come changing it will make some
improvement.
Does the modem volume reset by itself...?
