[WT-support] Voice Keyer

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

This is a very common problem when "mic boost" is disabled in Windows
itself.

To enable "mic boost", use the following procedure.

If you can find a little gray (WinXP) or yellow (Win2K) speaker icon in the
Windows task bar near the clock, double-click the icon to open the Volume
Control window.  Otherwise

   1. Start
   2. Control Panel
   3. Sound and Audio Devices
   4. Volume tab
   5. In the "Device volume" section, check "Place volume icon in the
   task bar"
   6. Click the Advanced button

If you don't see a "Microphone slider" in the Volume Control window, select
Options, Properties, and place a check mark next to Microphone and press
[OK].

If you don't see an [Advanced] button below the microphone slider, select
Options, Advanced controls from the menu at the top of the Volume Control
window to make it appear.  Then click the [Advanced] button below the
Microphone slider, and finally, check "Mic. Boost".

If you still don't have sufficient mic. volume, in the Volume Control Window
select Options, Properties, Recording, and Press [OK].  The Window title
will change from "Volume Control" to "Recording Control."  Make sure
"Microphone" is selected as the input device. Then adjust mic. gain here by
moving the slider.

Remember, the microphone slider on the "Volume Control" window adjust the *
monitor* volume, and the slider on the "Recording Control" window adjusts
the microphone *input gain*.

It would be nice if Win-Test could automatically enable mic. boost for you
whenever you enable the internal DVK.
