at a loss.. wav => voice modem

i have an answering system for my computer, and it regularly opens the port to play and record .WAV files. i have set up the modem with the TAD connector to my sound card, and the speaker phone function works great (when using a microphone plugged into the sound card). what i am TRYING to do is record the conversation from the modem (that part i have done..) and also play live wav files, mp3 music, whatever, through the modem to the phone line. This part has been a problem because the only way i can output audio onto the phone line is through a microphone connected the the microphone port on the modem or the sound card. I have not been able to have the source of the audio come from the computer itself, even after messing around with the record and playback levels on the computer volume control. I have tried connecting the speaker output on the sound card right to the microphone on the modem, and this has worked only the volume is extremely low.

the only possible solution i can think of is open a connection similiar to the one the answering system software opens (before it plays the WAV greeting). in my modem log, there are a bunch of AT commands and responses that i might be able to use, but i have no idea what to do with the commands, where to enter them, which to enter, etc. i have absolutely no idea where to look for more information on this subject. i have tried the sound blaster website, there is no infomation on my modem at all, i have tried searching "wav over voice modem" etc, but to no avail. If no one has an answer, can someone direct me where I might find some information on this? my audio setup is below, ANY information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. thank you

where would be the proper forum or website to list this problem, as no one here seems to have information on this?
