TOPIC
This article describes a common configuration issue that can result in the loss of modem sound on Power Macintosh G3 computers equipped with internal modems.
DISCUSSION The loss of internal modem sound should first be distinguished from the loss of modem functionality in general. This article assumes that the modem is functional in other respects besides not providing audio feedback during the course of the connection sequence, which typically proceeds through a brief dial tone, then the usual touch tones as the telephone number is dialed, and finally the modem handshaking tones (squealing, static, and so forth). If all of this audio feedback is absent, but the modem otherwise works, proceed as follows:
2. Adjust the "Computer System Volume" slider such that it is at a level at which the system beep can be heard distinctly (the system will beep each time the slider is adjusted). 3. Click on the "Sound Monitoring Source" pop-up menu and ensure that "Internal Modem" is selected. The audio feedback from the modem should now return. |
