Hi. The issue is probably that you need to have the microphone loopback enabled. What you hear records what is being plaid over the sound card. The microphone isn't being plaid over the sound card, so it doesn't get recorded when you do this. To get the microphone to play what it is picking up over the sound card as monitor mode, go to run and type sndvol32 and hit enter. now that you're in the volume control hit alt+p for properties. Press tab and hit down arrow till you hear adjust volume for playback. Tab till you land in a control that lets you select which devices you can opt to be able to adjust. They'll be like sw synth checked, pc beep checked, midi checked, cd player checked, phone checked, etc, and one of these is microphone or microphone/line in, make sure the one for microphone is checked. Press enter. Shift+tab till you hear microphone volume up down slider. Adjust it till you think it's right. Tab to the mute checkbox and hit space to uncheck that, unmuting the microphone, enabling it to work like monitor mode over the sound card. Warning! Put headphones on or turn your speakers wayyyy down when you do this. If you tap on your our microphone you'll hear it coming back simultaneously through the speakers. Now when you record it should work fine. To adjust how loud the recording through the microphone is when you do what you hear, adjust the volume of the microphone from the playback volume page that I just described how to get to. After you've checked to show microphone there, you've only got to run sndvol32 and press shift+tab a bit to get to microphone, those either steppes are a one time thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Metzler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
