ERROR_CTX_MODEM_RESPONSE_VOICE

Voice detected at remote site on callback.

ERROR_CTX_MODEM_RESPONSE_VOICE is Win32 error 7016 (0x00001B68) and concerns voice detection at a legacy Remote Desktop callback destination.

What to verify

Verify whether the callback number terminates on a compatible data modem rather than a person, voicemail, or voice-only endpoint. Check callback number source, modem response codes, and answering endpoint configuration.

Likely causes

  • the configured callback number is wrong.
  • the remote modem is not answering in data mode.
  • call forwarding redirects to voice service.
  • the telephony network classified the answer as voice.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Collect callback number source.
  2. Record modem response codes.
  3. Correlate answering endpoint configuration with TerminalServices operational logs, session and user-configuration records, device or modem diagnostics, and the caller’s connection trace.

Handling, retry, and recovery

Correct the destination or configure the remote modem for data answer; do not loop retries against a voice endpoint.

Related errors

ERROR_CTX_MODEM_RESPONSE_NO_CARRIER concerns failed modem carrier negotiation; this code indicates that voice was detected instead

Example

A user profile contains a desk-phone number instead of the modem line. Correcting the stored callback number prevents the server from repeatedly calling a voice endpoint.
