Configuring your microphone
If you preview your story and the narration volume is too high or low, you may want to click Configure Microphone on either the Welcome to Plus! Photo Story 2 page or the Record your story page to adjust the volume setting on your speakers or adjust the recording volume for your microphone. In addition, click Configure Microphone if you need to correct any microphone-related issues.
Many computers have built-in microphones, but the sound quality recorded by this type of microphone may vary from microphone to microphone and from session to session, depending on other sounds in the room.
If no microphone is installed on your computer and you attempt to record narration, Photo Story may record static noise instead.
Notes
- If the sound card on your computer is not configured to record from a microphone, Photo Story may be unable to record narration. In this case, Photo Story prompts you to configure the sound card to record from a microphone. This change may affect other recording programs, such as Plus! Analog Recorder, that are configured to record from a different audio input source. When you start the other recording programs after configuring the sound card for use with Photo Story, verify that those programs are recording correctly. If you choose not to configure the sound card to record from a microphone, Photo Story records narration using the current audio input source.
- If your microphone is accidentally unplugged before you start recording narration for your story, Photo Story might not be able to detect that the microphone has been unplugged and will not display an error message.
