 Abstract:  POOR AUDIO RECORDING QUALITY FROM MIC OR CDROM


 SYMPTOM:
 When using either a microphone or internal CDROM drive to
 record sounds to the hard disk via the integrated system
 audio, the quality of the recording is poor.

 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
 This tip applies to IBM PC300PL Series 6562/6592 systems
 equipped with an integrated stereo audio controller on the
 system board.

 The poor audio quality, or distortion, will worsen as the
 Record Volume is increased to maximum.

 NOTE: OEM audio adapters are not affected.

 FIX:
 The recording quality condition can be eliminated by placing
 a check in the "Mute" box under the "Line In" control column
 in the "Crystal Audio System Mixer" recording control Window.
