Anyone know where I can get hold of a dictaphone? I know some departments lend them. Alternatively, if anyone would lend me theirs, I'd bring it back to them on Tuesday. I promise you I'm not a psycho.

Darkbloom

Thank you! Even just for offering.

I have to know: why do you need one?

Darkbloom

Do you have one to lend?

Does it matter?

Oops! No dictaphone any of the usual places, I wasn't able to turn the house upside down this morning because i was late getting up.

Your laptop can actually record sound - most do have an inbuilt microphone.

Sorry about that!

Darkbloom

Mine doesn't have an inbuilt recorder and the two(two!) microphones I've bought don't work. ****ing motherboard.

Red Alert

Check that you did in fact unmute the correct channel. Some motherboards and laptop's actually have the external Mic as one of the AUX channels. Check also that you have the capture control set correctly - some sound cards will only listen to one channel at a time and you need to tell it which.

Darkbloom

...whuh?

Red Alert

Sorry for the gibberish - i was setting up a complicated sound card setup over the weekend so i guess it's coming back to me.

Any luck on the dictaphone?
