Re: poor playback quality

First of all if your'e using the sound card that came with the laptop to do serious recording you need to buy a USB sound card or buy a G3 tower and get a digi001 :) if you absolutely must use this sound card, a suggestion might be to try putting an Isolation transformer between the computer and the mic. It sounds like a ground loop to me, I have this problem all the time with stock sound cards, actually any inexpensize analog card, I use a sound blaster live with an outboard AD/DA It works great.

: hi, i am having really poor playback quality. i have winME on my laptop, 124 megs ram, celeron 475 mhz, and i am using a studio quality microphone.

: i left the defaults for recording and when i play back anything, i get a large hum in the back ground and the audio is barely audible.

: any ideas?

: thanx
