(press the Start button, whatever). it seems like you want MWAVE to have to spit out at least one WAV sound before using the 28.8 modem (perhaps so it loads the WAV sound code first?) 2) do _not_ trigger any sound events while the modem is dialing and negotiating a carrier; i.e. patiently wait and don't be mouse clicking while the modem is connecting. once you are fully connected, then continue your work. 3) i think i have had worse luck when i try using modem/sound together after i bring the machine up out of "hibernate" mode than when i do a "real" power up (i.e. give a chance for MWAVE to boot up clean). hope this helps you out. i have actually been very please with my sound capabilities while running the V.34 modem; it actaully works better for me than the older version of the MWAVE software did running just a 14.4 modem.... (back then i could not run any MIDI with the modem, but with the new MWAVE software even MIDI works while I am using the modem at 28.8, just with a reduced number of simultaneous voices).
