Secondly, I want to know if during an analog recording, is there any way I can make it so if there is 2 seconds or more of silence, I dont want the recorder to put on a track mark. Do Sharp's do this? Yes, you can turn off the auto track mark function, at least you can with the Sharps -

Hi again I have just gone out and purchased an Intel 500mHz Celeron which comes with a Soundblaster64 card (analog only output). Understanding that I cant swap the soundcard that comes with the computer (causes its a celeron??? and everything is on the motherboard) - call me stupid but that

At last! How long have we been waiting for this? Just a pity it's going to be USB (and probably expensive if Sony are making it) because I don't have any USB ports (an extra 10 UKP) and I won't be able to use it with Linux unless somebody hacks a driver for it in 2.3, which will probably take

Hi, There should be an option - probably a jumper, dip switch or BIOS setup setting to switch off the built-in sound. Check the motherboard manual. Then you can fit a new PCI soundcard no bother. I've got a SoundBlaster Platinum with LiveDrive II. It works OK with MD, but the software is a
