Chris - My webcam with it's built in mic is on the top of the screen, your mic might be in a similar place, have a feel of the top edge of the screen, just left of centre - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 12:48 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave | Hi all, I've just discovered, purely by recording a test using the just | installed Goldwave, that I have a built in microphone on my Vista | machine, or it appears I have anyway as I could certainly hear my own | recording. In my copy of Goldwave I couldn't see a stereo mix or | whatever check box either, however it seems to work fine using the | defaults. I need to look more into this. Hope this helps for now. | | James O'Dell wrote: | > Hi | > | > Try these instructions, same as what I sent the other day but a bit | > clearer. | > | > http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1725.entry | > | > James | > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" | > <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | > To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | > Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 12:16 PM | > Subject: [access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave | > | > | >> Andy, this is interesting indeed as the other Andy is pursuing this | >> question on the Goldwave list.
