i tried using the voice recorder, but when i play it back i cant hear antyhing. Does anybody know how to use it on a n100 3000 lenovo?

thanks

Is this the voice recorder software? Have you tried the Windows built-in Sound Recorder?

i am trying to use the bult in one. I went to accesories and then to sound recorder, is this the built in 1?

That's the one.

ok thanks. I try talking in it then when it saves, and i open it i do not hear my self. Is ther any adivse u can give me?

When you are recording, is the graph flat, or do you see it moving up and down as you speak? If it's flat, the microphone signal is not getting to the system.

Are you using the built-in microphone or an external one?

im trying to use the internal one, its called sound recorder. I dont really see a graph just a green thing that doesnt move at all.

A flat green line? Then it's a microphone problem. Two choices:

1. The microphone is broken or disconnected. If you have an external microphone, plug it in and try again. If the line is no longer flat, then it's some sort of a hardware problem.

2. Some sort of configuration problem. If your external microphone still produces a flat line, then the system is using the wrong device, the microphone is muted, or the driver is not properly installed.

ok i found the problem, it works but the reason i wasnt hearing anything is because the integrated microphone can hardly capture your voice. I have to scream in order for me to hear a whisper. Is there somethign i can do to adjust the microphone volume?

Right-click the speaker in the system tray (bottom right corner) --> "Open Volume Control" --> "Options" --> "Properties" --> "Recording" --> check "Microphone" --> click "OK" --> move the slider for the microphone up --> "Options" --> check "Advanced Controls" --> "Advanced" --> check "MIC Boost"

sammi, mine is the same way, i can barely hear it either, maybe lenovo will work on that issue

works now thanks soo much. it was the boost that i had to raise and it works good now.
