  Peter,

   Thanks for posting your question here. Modems and Sound Cards are 
usually the first culprits for being Plug and Play. Instead of 
explaining each possible senario and how to solve it, it would would 
be better if you could let us know what brand and model of sound card 
you have. Also find out if the cards are PnP,  PCI or ISA, etc. Also 
it's important to know whether the Modem is internal 
or external.

  Once you provide this information I'll be able to give you a much 
better and more detailed answer.

  Thanks for your patience,

  Suso
