Modem Wav. files?

[AlwaysUp]

I installed a Diamond i56 Supra Express modem in my newly built system. During Windows detecting new hardware and drivers from the cd that came with the card, I got another msg that was not mentioned in the manual. No wav device for voice modem detected. I pointed it to the cd and it still came up "nada". What next? If I browse contents of the cd, would I be able to recognize the voice modem wav table?

Don't worry about it unless you plan on using the modem for answering the phone and running voice mail software.

I was planning on using the speakerphone and fax features in the FaxTalk Communicator software that was bundled with this modem. Would the files be required then, glc? I suspect, so, but; not sure. Could it be that I should have had microphone attached when I first booted up? Would that have made any difference?

Then you will need it.

Try downloading the latest driver from http://www.diamondmm.com and uninstall the modem and wave device - and reinstall it with the new driver. Mike doesn't need to be attached. Supra installs go better if you jumper the modem to Com2 (after disabling Com 2 in BIOS) instead of using plug and play.

That way, Windows will see the modem only as Com 2 - and set the port properties to 115200, 8, none, 1, hardware - then use the Modems applet in control panel to detect and install the modem.
