Question for those in the audio know

<< Previous Next >>

Tracey, I ran into the same problem. Here's what I found:
1) I also have a Dell. If yours came with a mike, you can record. If it did not, your sound card might still have a mike socket in the back.
2) The path to the sound recorder=Start Menu/All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder.
3) The recording settings are found in Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices / Audio (tab) / Sound Recording VOLUME. Set volume to max.
4) Playback settings are found in Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices / Audio (tab) / Sound Playback VOLUME.
5) You can only record 60 seconds at a time, but you can save a recording and then add another 60 seconds on, etc.
6) I haven't tried cutting it to a CD yet. That may require using Windows Media Player (or Realplayer, or some equivalent).

Finally, I also can tell you how to create your own books, if you're so inclined.
