The problem with Windows is the show has to go through Windows to get anywhere else. There's no shortage of Windows developers that think they know how to "help you" with your sound. Couple that with communications like Skype and Chat and it's a wonder anyone managed to get sound recorded ...

By my measurements, the background noise goes up 6dB when the fan kicks in. In English: the noise doubles. once it starts it pretty much keeps going. That's not what you said earlier. "Keeps Going" we can do. It's constant on and off that creates problems. Did you look at that software pac...

There is another poster who is having microphone troubles. The microphone (or environment) makes her voice sound overly crisp, bright and harsh.
