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?

speaker volume slider is turned up on the "Modem" tab of the properties

That's a reflection of right-clicking Modems in device manager and I get the
same...Volume slider is just around the ¾ mark.

Since this is occuring in both XP and Vista, it is possible that the speaker
has died, unfortunately.

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.
Thanks guys.
