    Yep, plug both devices in, and look under the Device Manager to see if there is a resource conflict. If there is, correct it.

    How would I find out if there is a resource conflict?

    Meh, I'd say the only thing worth checking is the IRQ settings. Head into the Device Manager, click View>Resources by type. Click the + next to Interrupt request (IRQ) and check to see if the two devices giving you issues are assigned the same number. If so, you've likely found your problem.

    Well system resource conflict, or electro magnetic radiation interference from the sound card.

    Regarding the magnetic interference - try mounting the cards further apart.

    Regarding resource conflict (oh dear, this can be easy or hard!)

    There are two places to control allocation to system IRQ resource
    System CMOS and Device Manager
    We're going to Device Manager (for ease, and plug and play compatibility)
    Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
    Right click on your Modem
    Select Properties
    Select Resources
    Select IRQ
    Deselect Automatic
    Select change settings
    Change to any other IRQ available (if there are any)
    Ok Apply Ok
    Then shutdown
    And fit the sound card
    Hopefully it's assigned automatically and works
