Hi Gary, Thank you very much for your detailed explanation about the volume control. I can find now the option to select mute or unchec it but the microphone works well with handybits program but I can not work with sound-forge 7 and I can not record from my tape to the pc. What can be the problem. The record is ok and I get even the option to save that file but I can not hear any sound, any record in that saved file. I know that I have to mute my microphone. Can you or someone else, help me, please? I use winxp pro with jfw5.00.844 A lot of thanks, Moti Israel -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
