Hey guys,
I guess I'll start off by saying that I am new here... And the Studio 1535, It's my first Laptop and I love it.
I've only have one issue with it...
Whenever I play back video's I've recorded (on the webcam), I get a huge amount of static/white noise. I'm not really sure if it's the microphone or the speaker.
I always haven't had this problem... A while ago I did something stupid and tried installing some program that was going to let me record some decent audio using the microphone already installed onto the webcam. And it seems like since then have I been getting all this static.
Anyone know how to fix this? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Lol.
Thanks again.

If you don’t hear the same noise for other videos and audio clips (MP3s etc) then you can rule out the speakers. Try changing microphone level (Control panel > Sound > Recording > select the mic > Properties)

That seemed to do it. Thanks.
I didn't think that would help... I thought that was only going to boost the noise floor (static). Haha.
Thanks again.
