| Loud Modem If the screeching sound make by your modem (called handshaking) is too loud, you can decrease the volume. Go to the Control Panel (start..settings...control panel) and click the modem icon. Click the Properties button and in the general tab, slide the speaker volume as far to the left (towards off) as you want until the sound is at a level that you want. You can even turn the volume the entire way off if needed. |
