Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-15 Thread Lynn Schneider
I purchased a new PC a few months ago and, despite playing with the 
settings in the Windows volume control, trying two sound cards and 
multiple microphones, I cannot seem to get good enough volume without 
a lot of hiss. I know I tend to be quite soft-spoken, but I didn't 
have this problem on the old PC. I first tried the Realtek card that 
came with my PC. It was fairly acceptible for playback, but I had the 
low mic volume problem. I then bought a Creative 24-bit USB External 
card (I went with that card because I figured it would be easy to 
install since it was USB), installed it and updated the drivers, but 
again, with trying multiple different brands of microphones, the mic 
level was very low unless I cranked the Windows volume control way 
up, in which case I had unacceptible hiss. It is interesting to me 
that, despite having Advanced Controls checked, I cannot find a mic 
boost option in my SB Live, but it does have a microphone volume 
control wheel on the card itself, which only worsens the hiss if I 
crank it up. I am using Sound Forge 8 on a Shuttle PC with 1 GB of 
RAM, Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, 3.00 gigahertz Intel 
Pentium 4, and Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External with the latest 
drivers as of three days ago.  Aside from screaming into the 
microphones, is there anything else I can do to kick up the volume, 
preferably without having to break the bank? The research I've done 
shows that the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External is not a good card 
for recording, but I would prefer to stick with a USB sound card 
because I don't know how to install an internal card. However, I will 
go with an internal card and pay someone to install it if that is 
necessary. I tried a Logitech USB microphone which does work quite 
nicely, but I cannot get Jaws to come through my recordings, and for 
some crazy reason, my PC reboots spontaneously after having it 
connected for more than 15 minutes, even if I'm not using it. With 
all the microphones I have tried, I could probably create my own 
electronics store on Ebay.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
This is probally something you did, but did you remember to turn on the 20db 
gain boost?  On my old machine, there was no such option, so I didn't know 
about it and it took me a little poaking around.  You've probally done that, 
but just thought I'd mention it.

Re: Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-15 Thread Lynn Schneider
Hi Rick. When I go into the volume control, there is an advanced 
button next to the microphone, but the only thing in there is a check 
box for monitoring, which is checked, but nothing about the boost 
like I had on the old PC. I'm guessing that this sound card just 
isn't good for recording, which is what my research unfortunately has shown.

believe it or not, there are two microphone settings.

the one you want is in
your volume on the system tray under open volume control.

there's settings to show what will show up and there's a microphone control 
in there and the advanced button next to that will let you activate the 20 
db boost.

where on earth is the 20 DB boost if you're using the card she's

there are two advanced buttons.

The one is for moniterng sound and that's in the volume properties.  the 
other is in the playback or, if you goto the volume icon in yoru system it's 
under open volume controls, the first item in your context menu.  that's 
where the twenty db boos resides.  the same place as yours man.

Hello all,
Can a person, after burning a CD with very little space on it  used, 
re-install that CD, not a re-writeable one, and then try putting more MP3 
files on it?
Thanks,
Morey Worthington

RE: Cannot get good microphone volume

2006-07-15 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

I have this problem on my laptop.  I solved it by buying a microphone that
you put batteries in.  It does quite well with volume level.  I do get CPU
noise, but I think that's due to the sound card I'm using.  I got it from
Radio Shack.  It cost me somewhere around $25.  Battery life is decent in
it.  It uses 2 AAA batteries.  It's a boom mike, and the batteries go in the
bottom of the base that's on the microphone.

HTH

copying a karaoke disc

2006-07-15 Thread Edward Legge
I ask a question a few days ago about how to copy a karaoke disc 
including the text portion as well.  I did not get a response.  I am 
new on this list and thus I am not sure my messatge got out.  If 
anyone knows how to do this type of copying please let me know.  I 
would also just like for someone to let me know that my question did 
get out ok.  Thanks.

RE: copying a karaoke disc

2006-07-15 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

Your messages are getting out fine.

To copy this kind of CD, you'll need software such as Nero to do it, and
choose COPY CD from the choices.  These kinds of CDs may have copy
protection on them, because I tried to copy one several years ago and
encountered errors.  This was with other software, though, so Nero may be
able to do it.

 but there's a strange happening in winamp5.24. and that is, that when you
 choose open file or add files to playlist, .wav is not available when you
 have all supported types chosen under 'files of type. ya have to choose 
 'all
 files! and ya have to do that everytime ya wanna open or add a .wav file!
 that's annoying! how can that be  fixed? might i add that wave  is indeed
 selected in file associations.

 It's in the preferences dialog, control+p. The first option under general
 preference is file types.
