>Description:
I get very low levels when I try to record audio. When I try
to record with 16 bit samples (at 8000Hz), most of my samples
are < 0x00ff. When I record 8 bit samples my values are +-1.
I practically have to put my mouth on the mic to get any sort
of deflection. It's almost like we using the MSB for the LSB.
>How-To-Repeat:
Buy a crappy Toshiba Equium 7100S with a built-in sound chip
and give it a try.
>Fix:
I have no fix.
