I just plug a microphone in, adjust the mixer, and it works. You have to use the right microphone for the kind of socket it's plugged in to... dynamic mics are fine; electret mics with external power supply are fine. But mics that need phantom power won't work without an external box to give them the power. And the sensitivity of the input circuitry for some sound cards is appalling... they need an external preamp. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
