Hi. Try selecting a different input device. The software is defaulting to device 0. But if your microphone driver is assigned to another device you will need to reset.
First do /devices You will get a list of suitable input and output devices. Then select a new mic device by issuing the command /record x where x is the new device number. 73 Kelly 5B4AIT |

Good afternoon.
I have checked the system for 26HS284 (I am this user's son) and the system (PC) configuration is correct. We have tried 3 different mics and get the same behaviour with each of them. In Windows, the system volumes are correct and audible with/without mic boost enabled and system playback and soundrecrorder comes back clearly and at correct volumes. However in HamSphere, as soon as you key up the mic on level 2 or above, the needle goes offscale high and there is almost no audio quality, very hard to make out. Even with all PC inputs muted and the mics disconnected, these transmit power levels are the same so it seems that the mic is working fine but there is an issue with our HamSphere installation. I have upgraded to the latest version and also uninstalled/reinstalled and it is still doing the same thing. HamSphere playback/recording devices are set to the correct values using the /devices dialog and also the GUI menu in the new version. Any advice on what could be causing this or how to rectify it would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance. |

Hi.
1. Did you set Mic boost off? 2. Did you change the input device with /record x where x is a number between say 0 to 4 and try each device? 3. When the meter goes off scale like that and it is no audio quality it may be hum that causes it. Make sure you have proper shielded cables to the mic. Especially low frequency hum such as 50 or 100hz from main may cause the needle to spike. 73 Kelly |
