Dial up problem

[David C]

I've lost the audible dial tone from my modem when connecting to the internet, this was useful as I could check for 1571 messages.

Does anyone know how to get it back.

 

( Btinternet anytime, 56k)

 

Thanks,

[Newt]

I hope this doesn't mean you have picked up a rogue dialer.

it happens to me sometimes, when i've been making the laptop sleep insteading of shutting it down, cures itself if i shut down and restart

Sorry for the delay in replying Newt, however, I've been searching & managed to answer my own question, heres how I did it excalibur:

 

 

click start

click run

type regedit, then ok

follow this path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SYSTEM

CurrentControlSet

Control

Class

{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Settings

SpeakerMode_Dial

Double click and change "Value Data" to M1 and ok then close regedit.

Dial up and there is your tone.

 

 

I believe there is an easier way using control panel but I cant figure it out

 

cheers, Dave

 

PS. This was the result of a rogue dialer I was victim to which sneakily turned off the modem volume so you cant hear it dialling.........(b@***rds)
