When I place a call with the Phone Dialer that comes with Windows ME it connects but I can't hear it on my speakers nor does the Mic work ? Any one have a solution to this problem ? Thanks

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.
