130503 2003-03-24 11:25:00 recording sound
When I use win98 sound recorder to record through the microphone there is a lot of hum & his just like the good old days when one used a tape deck with the record vol turned up full. & even though I dicked around with all the volume settings the signal is still weak with all this background noise.
So why the weak signal & why the bg noise?
The mike I am using is just a cheap one that can be stuck to the side of the monitor.
Is it because I have intergrated sound?

The sensitivity of the Mic input is quite high.
The cheap mic will likely have poor quality sreened cable.
The monitor generates HUGE amounts of electromagnetic radiation.

Keep you mic and its leads as far away from the monitor and any other leads or equipment as possible.

It would be highly unlikely that on-board sound wiuld be an influence

130506 2003-03-25 06:23:00 also make sure the line-in is on mute
that generates some buzzing noise if i leave it on
