    Hi guys
    How do you disable the built in microphone and have the computer record from the mic input? As soon as I insert an external mic in it I get the audio wizard pop up and I select mic, but the damn thing still picks sound up from the camera microphone. The sigmatel seems a really lame sound card...

    Go to Sounds, Recording tab, highlight the array mic, properties and disable the device from the drop down menu.
