Mark,

Don't know why I couldn't find 3.4 last night; I am very familiar with DOS file structure snce I wrote many of my accounting programs in Microsoft Basic which runs under DOS (a long time before Windows). Maybe it was just my bleary eyes at 3 AM in the morning.

I loaded 3.4 and retarded the sound a whole .5 seconds and now everything is in sync.

I will not take a chance on 'super-volting' the mic. It may not even be necessary since I found something else that works fairly well.

A while back I bought a little 'amplifier' from Radio Shack that runs on two
AA batteries. I used it to boost the ouput of my DVD player when watchng movies on airplanes. It worked well, but after the first try, I found out that I still needed noise reduction earphones.

I put the amplifier on the input side of the Soundblaster card and nothing worked; apparently, the mic needs to have its' output run through the card.

I then put the amplifier on the output side of the Soundblaster and I think this setup could be used to break your eardrums if you wanted to.

The drawback is that it also amplifies the music output from the laptop.

I didn't try adjusting the sound from Hoster; that might be a way to adjust the music output from the laptop relative to the voice output from the mic. . I'll have to try that next.

At any rate, I can now put this thing to bed.

Thanx again to you and to all the other guys who had suggestions.
