    Hey folks,
    I have an Asus W2JB and i noticed that it comes with a built in microphone. What I am wondering is how do you use it? Since i use my laptop in class i am wondering how to use it because i would like to actually try to record the lectures.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Try just going to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder

    That can only record for a minute but you can test it out and decide if it's usable for your purposes.

    It's probably not sensitive enough to record lectures... unless of course your lecturer is quite loud or you sit REALLY close.

    However, you can always give it a shot and see... :)

    I tried that but it doesn't seem to work/record. But then i did it again and i realized the mic just records at a really really low volume. =\
