I have not been able to record sound using a mic. I have a built in mic on my laptop. When I tap on it I can hear the sound on my ear phones but when I record a desktop session using record my desktop application I get a strange mechanical sound only. I think I have to do something with the mixer controls . Can someone guide me about that ? thanks in advance nishith
