Hi Doc. Thanks for that. I didn't even know of the other available options, once the ALT was pressed. However, despite going through this and setting my mic level at 60, the recordings I end up with are terrible. Very quiet and noisy. I'm sure it's a settings thing as this is a Packard Bell computer which was not the cheapest in the store. Any ideas? Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.
