After the excellent advice I got last week about muting my microphone in playback, I've come across two more difficulties I am hoping someone can help with.

Firstly, I am using an Audigy Sound Card, and prior to this, I had a Sound Blaster Live. I changed the sound card because I heard the Audigy's worked better with JAWS and didn't require special drivers etc.

However, when recording, I now notice a slight hiss which wasn't there before. Is this normal and is there anything I can do about it. I just get the slight hiss when recording my voice, not when recording off the internet or anything like that.

Secondly and lastly, I notice that when I record off the net, the recording levels are quite low. Lower than the radio in fact when I was recording The Archers on Radio 4. I adjusted the volume in Record what you here to 100 per cent using the up down slider, but even then the levels of what I had recorded were lower than the program itself when I played it on the net.

So, in order to increase the levels, is there a master volume somewhere I can increase, or do I just have to leave it? Or do you record first and then normalise to make it louder? I'm quite new to this but I like to get it right.

Just learning.

DonnaThanks in anticipation
