To disable integrated sound (on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0), select Control Panel from the SSSSttttaaaarrrrtttt menu, then click on Multimedia Advanced. Click on the Audio Device icon, then select the Do not use audio features on this device radio button.

    This might be due to the DMA channel selected or to an interrupt conflict. Use your operating systems audio control software to change the audio interfaces DMA channel or IRQ setting.

    Check that the microphone specifications meet the requirements of the 16-bit sound components. The microphone should be a 600-ohm electret type.

    If the power grounding of your audio components is inadequate, a humming noise may be generated. Plug all devices into adjacent power outlets (outlets within 5 cm / 2 inches of each other), or use line filters.

    Uncompressed digital audio can eventually fill your hard disk. For example, one minute of stereo sound recorded at a resolution of 44 kHz will occupy about 10.5 MB. Before recording, check that there is enough free space on your hard disk.

    Data compression can reduce the space required. The A-law and m-law hardware compression used by the audio interface enables the sampling of sound at a resolution of 16-bits, but it generates the same quantity of data as an 8-bit sample.
