Audio recording

[Cindy]

I recenly upgraded to windows 2000 from ME. When I did
that, my microphone stopped working, so we re-installed
the audio drivers. Now when I record (and same when I do
audio on MSN messenger) it plays out very slow (in sound
recorder if I increase speed by 100% it sounds normal).
Any ideas what this could be? I used audio regularly
prior to the upgrade without any problem - and have
fiddled with every setting I can think of now but can't
correct it.

Hi Cindy,

MS Win ME upgrade to Win2000 is not a recognized upgrade. Win Me came out after
Win2000. You will be much better off to Clean install W2K. You can try going to
the manufacturers website, get the drivers, bring them your desktop. Uninstall
the Sound Adapter, install the new drivers, and then shutdown, so that when you
start up that the Sound Device can be found by Plug and Pray. If your sound does
not work properly then, unless you remove the Sound Card, boot for the Sound
Device not onboard. Then reinstall the Sound Card. After it boots up and finds
the card, you try the sound device, and it does not work properly, manually
uninstall it, and try another driver for a similar model. If that does not work,
there is some disparity in parsing library iteration between ME and W2K, and it
is far too much trouble to spend two weeks trying to make this work to save the
price of W2K.

At that point, you are going to have a couple hundred dollars of shop time
spent, if you were paying for it.

Thanks for the advice, Don. I'll give it a try.
