After you upgrade a Windows XP-based computer to Windows Vista, you may no longer hear the audio handshake when you use a dial-up modem
After you upgrade a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer to Windows Vista, you may no longer hear the audio handshake when you use a dial-up modem. However, the modem works and connects.
This problem occurs because certain modem drivers cannot stream audio to the computer audio device in Windows Vista. Therefore, you cannot hear the dial tone or the modem handshake.
This problem does not prevent the modem from working in Windows Vista. You may be able to re-enable this feature by contacting the OEM or the modem manufacturer for an updated Windows Vista-compatible modem driver.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
