Description durian 2000-04-10 18:00:04 UTC 
	I get very low levels when I try to record audio.  When I try
	to record with 16 bit samples (at 8000Hz), most of my samples
	are < 0x00ff.  When I record 8 bit samples my values are +-1.
	I practically have to put my mouth on the mic to get any sort
	of deflection.  It's almost like we using the MSB for the LSB.

Fix: 

I have no fix.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Buy a crappy Toshiba Equium 7100S with a built-in sound chip
	and give it a try.
