The phone dialer that come with Windows ME is a modem dialer (not a telephone
call program) and it only provides sound through the built in speaker of the system
board, not through the sound card and external speakers. This sound (adjustable in
the Control Panel - Modem properties) cuts off when and if the modem makes a modem
to modem connection. It has no support for a microphone. And some systems now days
do not even have a small internal speaker hooked up.
To use this dialer, once the phone number is dialed, you would then pick up a
phone to continue the call. (In other words it is not an Internet Phone dialer nor
does it turn your system into a phone.)
If you are not hearing the dial tone and the Touch Tones as it dials, then the
speaker may not be attached to the system board (jumper pins where the front panel
LEDs and power ON/OFF switch attach to the system board) or the modem sound level
in the Control Panel - Modem properties may be set too low.
