    Hi!

    I bought a Znote 6224W last week, its really sweet :)

    But! Im trying to get the microphone working. To get ANY sound at all to get recorded i have to maximize the microphoneboost (+40db), and when i do i get this buzzing sound. Is the microphone really that bad?

    Did you try the options such as Noise Suppression under the Microphone Properties (see the attached)? Did any of them have any effect?

    Hi Ollz,

    I had the exact same problem with my 6224W. The microphone was so quiet that Skype assumed that I didn't actually have one!!

    Anyway, in disgust I went out and bought a Skype handset and once I had installed it the microphone sprang into life!! Don't ask me how or why, but the microphone has been as good as gold since an the handset is gathering dust.

    Hey

    I have the same problem with my Zepto 3414W. The recordingsound is really really low. Skype doesn´t work for me. Tried the microphone boost an yes I got a bit louder recording but it was full of noise which made it also useless.

    I updated the sound-drives för the realtech-soundcard but no improment.

    Any tips solutions?

    Hey

    I have the exact same problem with my 6224W.
    The microphone is extremely low.

    I have to use an external mic.
