Hi,

I have been having this problem, too. I have tried every type of microphone,
including a lapel right up near my mouth, and when I play it back it sounds
like I was 100 feet away.

Funny: while I was typing that last sentence, someone pinged me for a
conversation (NetMeeting) and they said my voice was coming in fine. What
might be causing what I'm hearing?

Thanks,
Pete
