I have a microphone connected to the sound card. When I
record a sound, it records alright. However, when I pay it
back there is a hissing noice during the text phase. when
no word are spoken or when there is no voice, the hissing
noice is not there. I have tried several things such as
noice reduction, DC control chages etc.

I'm not sure why I get this hissing noice only when I am
speaking into the microphone. I have tried speaking away
from the microphone and it dosen't make any diffference.

Pleae advise.

thanks

Most likely, you are just using a lousy microphone. Mics
that are included with computers are typically not known
for their sound quality. You might look into investing $50
to $100 for a decent microphone. If you are already using
a pretty good mic, a sound card driver update will probably
fix the problem.

Ted: Thanks for the reply.
I have a nice sony dynamic microphone, which does a very
good job when I record using MS encoder.

I have a brand new pentium III with a SoundMAX digital
sound card.

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

are you sure you're recording at 16bit? It sounds like 8
bit to me...
