lewmur Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) It seems the AC97 sound drivers suppress the mike level to the speakers in order to prevent feedback. This isn't too big of a problem unless you want both a Live performance and to record the performance at the same time. In this case, if you turn up the mike volume enough for the audience to hear, the recording is completely saturated.Anyone know of a way to disable the mike suppression in XP?

It goes to the recorder but not the speakers or headhpones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The way I did this a couple of times was by using a separated hardware mixer. IIRC one could also get the result you want with two sound cards, however I never have experimented with that. Maybe another approach would be to use an external mic amp and feed the signal from it to the line input of the soundcard, mixing the signal into the chain.

Actually, I found a "Karaoke" button in "Sound Effects" menu. It doesn't restore the mike to full volume. Instead it knocks down everything else so that if you have enough gain elsewhere everything equalizes. DUMB, DUMB, and DUMBER!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
