Hi, glad I'm not the only one who's had such a problem!

My problem has returned as well as of last week, what kind of input /mic system are you using?

I think I may try hooking up 2 laptops to the same mic line level output and see if I can verify if it's the mic or on the computer side. This last time it started getting quieter fading down almost immediately after starting to record. It came back normal again eventually and was fine for 20 minutes or more until it had another dip / quieter zone. Sure wrecks the quality of the recording!
