Hi Pam, If you've tried changing the recording level, the bit depth (8 or 16) and the sample rate (default is 22.5 KiloHertz) and both internal and external microphones then I'm puzzled. If you can email me a snippet of the sound file demonstrating the effect I'd like to have a look, since I'm playing with some audio features at the moment.
theoretically, I'd expect the problem to be caused by recording at 8-bit or your bird whistling at too high a frequency! <grin> I'll see if I recreate the problem on my set up. regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch , New Zealand .
