If it is an external modem [even if not] it is highly probable
it has its own drivers, usually named Modem Line-In [Mic] and
Modem Speaker, to allow software to play sound to and record
from the line.

What I'm suggesting is check the record options in //ControlPanel/
Media and make sure that "Preferred/Primary Record Device" is pointing to
your sound card and not to your modem.
