The 15" and the 17" came with all the connections we assume because there was room. The 13" of roughly the same year, didn't. Then they all peeled off the split Stereo Line-In about the same time they jettisoned the optical drive. I got the last run of 15" machines that still had...

The perils of troubleshooting a Tough Dog from several time zones away. I got that phrase from a decades old magazine that described repairing TV sets. Back when we had TV sets. Do you remember why you wanted the microphone? Did you get the cable checked at the same store that sold it to you? Did th...

The speakers are Logitech S-120 P/N: 880-000065 M/N:S - 00026 120V ~ 60Hz 100 mA Those last two numbers mean there is a little power supply that plugs into the wall, right? That means the speakers are getting the power to run from the wall, not from the USB connection. Your microphone cord is getti...

I got stuck once with a computer whose speaker feed was stuck in "cathedral" setting and nobody told me. I was new to that service and it took a while to run it down. On the other side, yes, Windows Enhanced Services appears on the record side. That can actually work well as long as you re...

There's still the remotest possibility you have the connection turned down in Windows Control Panels, but that does not account for the background noise level going up and down when you touch the microphone body.

To specifically answer you, I don't know that you do. If you didn't install any custom software when you first used the MicPre cable, then you're using plain, ordinary Windows software. The answer to the post just before this one may tell me a lot about what's going on. Microphone systems that get t...

Who made the speakers and what's the model number? That could give me an additional clue.

Are you in Stop? A common mistake is to try to do work in Pause and many of the buttons and functions don't work in Pause.
