Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 20:56:11 -0500 hi again guys Well, I believe it's a problem with the Archos itself. I just tried a regular, standard computer microphone on the archos, and still the same result, absolutely, positively nothing works. I believe I've gone through everything I can do here, and it still won't work. So, is it really a problem with the archos, or is it just operator error at fault here? if it is, i won't feel offended if yousay so. Note I've also tried using the pre=-amp and that did not work either. So, I am thoroughly stumped.
