Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 20:01:44 -0700 Thanks for the two quick responses. I do have the mike boost on XP on my computer. It says +20db. But on the Nomad Juke Box I also have the boost up (to+46db) and I still can't get any sound out of the mike. Any thoughts? About adding on an amplifier, I wanted a portable device that recorded sound well that I could carry around and dictate (or more accurately, rant) into, the recordings being slated for later podcast. >From what I'm reading, I'd have to carry around an amplifier as well. Not good.
