Connecting an external microphone to your WinBook notebook

Double-click on the speaker icon on the taskbar to call up the audio mixer, then select Options/Properties/ Recording and click OK. If the microphone is deselected, you can click

on the checkbox to select the microphone as the active device.

Built-in Microphone

The microphone built into the case of your WinBook notebook provides you with an integrated source for adding sound to your applications or for using the speech functions of your applications. You will need applica- tions capable of using such sound input to make use of the microphone. The audio software that is included with your WinBook notebook provides one such application.
