Using the microphones
Your computer has built in microphones that can be used to record
stereo sounds into your applications. It can also be used to issue voice
commands to applications that support such functions.
Since your computer has built in microphones and speaker, "howling"
may be heard under certain conditions. Howling occurs when sound from
the speaker is picked up in the microphones and amplified back to the
speaker, which amplifies it again to the microphones.
This howling occurs repeatedly and causes a very loud, high pitched
noise. It is a common phenomenon that occurs in any sound system
when the microphones input is output to the speaker (throughput) and the
speaker volume is too loud or too close to the microphones. You can
control throughput by adjusting the volume of your speaker or through the
Mute function.
To adjust the volume or activate Mute, click start, point to All Programs,
point to Accessories, point to Entertainment and click Volume Control.
In the Master Volume panel, you can use the slide bars to adjust the
volume level or click Mute at the bottom of the panel.
