| | Can no longer hear WFS dialling This is only a minor irritation as WFS still works perfectly well. I wonder why my fax card's built-in speaker no longer emits any sound when I'm sending a fax - I used to be able to hear it dialling. I've tried Googling the issue and apart from a few people saying that they vaguely remember the issue and seeing a fix for it which they've long forgotten, I still haven't actually found a fix. The card is obviously still working as I can send and receive faxes and sounds are all on as per the options/settings, although I doubt that Windows Sounds settings have anything to bear on a card's built-in speaker. It's a Hiro 56K V.92 PCI Modem which shows in Vista as an Agere Soft Modem. I get the same problem in both XP and Vista by the way. The speaker worked for a while and then just stopped. Any ideas anyone? -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2 x 2/Vista Ultimate SP1 Triple Boot |

| | Re: Can no longer hear WFS dialling That's what I figured. Strange. The manufacturer offered to replace it but it's hardly worth the bother just for that, and if it is that, it's most likely it would happen again.
