Sound Card - Modem

is not posible...

Why? If you don't have a problem, just leave it alone.they are not going to harm your pc. And you are not going to gain anything either if you're able to disable them.

I cannot immediately think of any way to disable the wave device in either your modem or sound card, but I have other suggestions for you. First, make sure you are using the latest drivers for your devices and if not, update them. If you are stillhaving problems after doing this, it is possible that your sound card and modem are conflicting with each other. Right-click the My Computer icon, click Properties, click Device Manager tab. Check the resources of both your modem and your sound card to verify no conflicts exist. You may have to view devices by connection for both IRQ and I/O to find out if conflicts really do exist. If conflicts do exist, you will need to locate the jumper settings on your sound card (or locate the configuration software for your sound card if no jumpers are present) and change its IRQ and/or I/O to non-conflicting (or less-conflicting) numbers. You may also have to do this for your modem if it is an ISA type (I know Lucent still makes both types). If you would let me know what type of system you are running, if you were using a different OS before ME, and if these devices worked in the past, I may have additional suggestions for you. Good luck.

Sorry, cpmajor2002, I did not realize I was not logged in when answering your question. Please disregard the reponse from "Transient" as it was me. Here is my response again:

I would try ISA modem. I think this will solve your problem. Good luck.

If you do not with to remove the addin card or if neither the modem or sound card are integrated, then to disable the wave device go to control panel select Multimedia then select the tab "Advanced" expand audio devices. select the device you wish to disable click the button "Properties" then select the button "Do not use audio features on this device" and apply it. I hope that does the trick for ya.

Try opening Device Manger and looking under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. The wave device on your modem shoud be located here. Right click on the device and select properties. There should be an option to disable it on the General Properties tab. Doing this should have no effect on the communication part of your modem.
