Re: 750 Microphone help
Hi Chris,
I had a similar problem with my 760ED. My problem was the power level for the
"active" microphone (I had a headset supplied with IBM Voice Type) at the mic
input of the laptop.
I bought an additional "power provider" (battery pack) from the headset
manufacturer. Works fine (the headset, not Voice Type!!!).
