My old computer gave the handshake sounds through my speakers. This new one only gives me the handshake through the small modem speaker. I am using the Audigy MP3+ sound card and can't seem to control it. It's a USR5601B modem. But neither the Pctel modem or the Diamond Supramax modem gave speaker sounds either. Any ideas?

It was a Lucent Winmodem. I'm running Win98 2e with the old and new systems. Do most modems not use the system speakers to handshake? My speakers work for most everything else.

Aloha! Richard.
