The modem is producing sound because it has a built-in speaker of its own.

dsound.dll is part of Microsoft's DirectX multi-media support package; it sounds like your DirectX got corrupted somehow.

Try either reinstalling or upgrading your DirectX components. You can get the download's from Microsoft's site.
