TOPIC


    I am having difficulty using the built-in microphone of the AppleVision 1710AV Display with my Macintosh Performa 6200CD. Whenever I attempt to record sounds with this setup, the recording appears muffled and contains a lot of static. However, if I connect the PlainTalk microphone directly into the computer, I get clear sound recordings. What could be causing this to happen?

DISCUSSION



    Apple is aware of this issue and is investigating it. It does not appear to be an issue with the AppleVision 1710AV Display. Rather, it appears that this issue can occur on all computers with a this form factor, including the Macintosh 630, 6200, and 6300 series computers.

    This audio issue also occurs with the Macintosh Performa 6400 computer.

    Currently, the only workaround is to use the PlainTalk microphone connected directly to the computer's microphone port.


    Note:
    The following computers are in the corresponding Macintosh families:
