How do you get the voice recorder to work on the go gear vibe? Do I need a little microphone to record messages?

Look on the Google Play store for a Voice Record app.

To play a microphone recording file, press the Menu button once, and then push the Menu button to the right once, and now you should read the message of VOICE appearing on the Display. Press the Menu button again, and then use the Menu button to select a desired microphone recording file by pushing the Menu button to the right or to the left. Once the desired microphone recording file is selected, press the "play/pause" button to start playing the file.
this is all from the manual hope this helps

it seems the problem in not with your sound driver but u need to select microphone option from your recording settings of your sound card, u can do it by double clicking your sound volume icon on taskbar(just near system clock)and from their go to properties and in recording device just click on your microphone option

Most laptops do have Microphones built in. I do not know for definate that your laptop does, but you can easily test it to find out.

1. Go to the volume control (double click the speaker icon near the clock on the taskbar), go to recording properties and select microphone as the recording source and set the slider to about 80%.

2. Bring up microsoft sound recorder (its in the start menu somewhere) and click record... when you speak you should see a voice print appear in the sound recorder window.

If you do not see a voiceprint, then you probably dont have a built in microphone, but if you do see a voiceprint as you speak then you do have a microphone built in and you can record into your powerpoint shows to your hearts content.

Hope this helps!

I have a Dell 1545 with Dell web cam central & I've had this issue. The problem is that Dell web cam central installs it's own microphone settings onto your laptop called something like Dell web cam Live!. This isn't the built in microphone in my laptop & maybe not yours either. You have to change the settings for your computer system & Dell web cam central. Go to start> control panel> sound> recording .. on mine there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" ... that is the built in mic. You want that for your default & apply it. Also .. as a side note .. I disabled the web cam central Live! microphone completely from this window. Then open Dell web cam central & go to the "Record Video's" option. In the middle of this is an orange button with a video camera icon. Next to this on the same button is a little arrow pointing down .. click that. Under microphone .. choose Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" just like the sound option in control panel. I've done this & it's completely fixed. I can record videos with sound & use my built in mic in voice/video chat.

Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

The internal microphone might be failing. If you haven't already tried….call into the answering and recording the greeting that way.

If that's been tried and doesn't work, there isn't much more that can be done as modern electronic devices are not designed to be user fixable.

You might be able to find a used 1725 or 1726 for sale on eBay.

The ERR message can only be corrected by holding in the DISP/MENU and STOP buttons for two seconds, which results in all the material on the recorder being erased. It will say (FOR) for a few minutes while it is erasing everything, then will work again. Solution found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-VN-2100-Digital-Recorder-microphone/dp/B000V3NTEU

Use a cable running from the headphone jack on the recorder into your PC microphone jack. Then you can capture the audio using Windows MovieMaker software that comes with Windows XP. I have done this and it worked perfectly.

The recorder for this unit was designed to be connected to a PC or other music player that fed a powered signal. Connecting a microphone without a power supply and amplifier to it will not record since the port requires a powered send.

The "B" port will record a "Line Level" signal but not a "Mic Level" signal. you will need a pattery powered microphone for you to record your voice with this unit.

It works...but not the way you'd like it to.
