Despite operating in Administrator mode, silencing the modem at dialup is not working. The apply button is greyed out, which could be related, but nevertheless I get the same dial sounds out of the speaker no matter what the sound is set to. Any suggestions besides getting earmuffs?

It's funny sometimes how the same thing can be perceived so differently. If my modem were suddenly silenced, I'd be posting to find out how to get the sound back. I just wouldn't want to be without all the reassuring "music" it makes as it connects. And if you listen long enough, I understand it can be used as a diagnostic tool to troubleshoot connection problems. LOL
