can confirm that I am using the default in the settings, but also have
several others installed (NVidia Nforce, which is my sound card; Avermedia,
which is the tv tuner card I just installed, but haven't gotten to work yet;
and a modem line-in record one, which I assume corresponds to the mic in that
I have on my modem for speaking). I am not quite sure which device is being
used by word and outlook successfully, so don't know how to tell you. I do
know that in my control panel sounds settings, the default voice device for
listen and record is the nvidia I mentioned. I would imagine that means that
they are all using it, but I don't know if word or outlook would have had
some other thing to use (I cannot imagine, since there is no other device
that corresponds to the jack into which I am plugged in).
Did the tuning wizard. All was picked up. I don't think it's a situation
where the computer's not hearing me. I think for some reason or other, ON is
just not capable of processing and converting the file. I don't know if
there's some driver that does this, and I don't have the right version (don't
forget, I don't think Word and Outlook actually make a file. They just
convert quickly and enter as text...maybe there's something fundamentally
different about that and so their functioning doesn't prove anything in terms
of ON). I don't know, but it sounds like from your questions and my answers,
the beat goes on, and the beat goes on...drum beats playing....
