Solution
Make sure that the MV5 is fully plugged in.
Check the computer sound control panel settings. When first connecting the MV5 to your
computer, make sure to raise the computer volume level.
Check the sound control panel of the computer to ensure that the MV5 is fully plugged in
and recognized.
Use the audio meter to ensure that volume peaks are within the target range. If level is
reaching the red peak indicator of the input meter, turn the gain down.
Make sure that the sample rate and bit depth microphone settings, found in the sound
control panel of the computer, are consistent with the sample rate and bit depth selected
in your software.
Edit the privacy setting for the iOS device under SETTINGS > PRIVACY > MICROPHONE
to give the recording application permission to use the microphone.
The MV5 requires 250 mA per port. Check USB hub documentation for current/port speci
fication.
