    Similar problem. Interestingly, in the record mode if you tap or scratch the opening where the microphone is, the sounds are recorded. That said, if you yell into the mike it does not record your voice. I pulled the recorder apart to see if there was anything loose, nothing. You can't get access to the actual mike it seems, hence why I am checking this site.



    Bought from Future Shop and wouldn't you know, the one year warranty expired 4 months ago.



    Good luck!

During Playback you can press + or - buttons to adjust the volume. Maybe this is your problem. If you need more info watch video instructions chapters for Olympus on http://www.HandBookLive.com under Electronics-> Audio. There are 20 different video chapters. The info about + - buttons for volume during playback was chapter 7 (Playback)

You can't. Audiobooks are just like music, and the Sansa treats them that way. Think of them as words spoken without music.

Voice recordings are made on the Sansa, when you use it as a digital recorder. You can record lectures, meetings, or notes to yourself, and play them back.

Problems in transferring voice (lecture) files to Mac
WMA is a windows standard. You can get the free components for Quicktime from Microsoft's web site. This should solve your problem.

Retrieval of deleted voice recorded file
maybe, there are programs that retrieve deleted files, but sadly you need to buy them.

this only works if you havn't added any new voice recording (or a lot of voice recordings) or if you havn't reformatted your player.

Not playing full recording
Hi,
Maybe it's the preview play option of the player that you are using. It only plays a part of the recording for you to identify if it is the right recording that you are trying to find because the recorded allows you to record more than one file.

IHP120 20gb multicodecjukebox-voice recording
Sir,
I solved the problem .Actually under the SOURCE title it was under the LINE IN.There were some more options like INT.MIKE, EXT.MIKE, OPTICAL. So i first tried under external mike by connecting to the EXT.mike and selected the source and by removing the external mike switched to Int. mike and changed the source. It automatically picked according to the source and played the recording and saved it in the file and later heard the lecture with the head phone and later converted in to a file in the laptop. Now it is working nicely. A really a good product to make use and it is very much user friendly.
Thanks again.
regards

Cradle/USB malfunction?
It is not obvious that the cable should be used one way and if someone plugged the cable in wrong even once(this really doesn't take much pressure), it can damage the Female end of the connection. Make sure the arrows align on the recorder and cable and if it doesn't work it is most likely physical damage.
