When I connect to the net, my modem constantly makes a really loud noise. The connnection works just fine but this noise is more than frustrating! Does anyone know what could be causing this and how do I fix it?

A driver update should stop this problem. Are you running XP?

Yes I am running xp & i have just updated the driver. Other modem troubleshooting sites have said that my modem is really cheap & prone 2 problems, so i dont think i should bother trying 2 fix it really.
thanx all the same.

What drivers version are you running,there is a known problem with this chipset and xp with the modem speaker staying on and a drivers update has fixed this problem.. Have you tried the drivers off of the Conexant site?
