I found something on dvinfo.net. (below)
The hot scratchy sound goes away if I pull the plug out 1/16 of an inch.
WTF!? What a crappy solution.
Now if I'm on location I have to dangle the mic connection and hope that
it's working!? ugh.
Anyway, thanks for all the help and

It's the converter cable that came with the camera. :(
The guy on dvinfo.net said he had the same problem when using a 3rd party
converter cable, too.

okay, so I just went out and tried to record a segment using my new pull
out the cord a little technique.
And I guess I pulled it out a little too much, making the mic not connected
at all (so only the camera mic recorded).
An external mic is totally useless if I am never sue if it is connected
I'm chiming in a little late on this, but all the mics sound like there's a
bad connection/cable. My guess is if you get a new cable, you'll have a
better sound.
Hope so anyway - I haven't tested the external mic thing on my Xacti yet!

I tested again with the mic level (camera setting) lower and did not hear
much improvment. :(
maybe the included adapter (2.5 mm to 3.5 mm) is faulty?

Do you have any other devices you could plug into the camera, like an iPod
or DVD player or cassette deck, to see how that interfaces?
Try it and report back :)

I am SUPER ignorant when it comes to sound. So this may be a silly
question...
But my audio sounds scratchy and crappy when I use the mic jack on my new
Sanyo Xacti, mini HD recorder.
I made a short (under 1 min) video showing what I mean. Can anyone listen
and give me some help/advice?
are you switching mikes cables? are they all the same level of crappyness?
do you have gain control on your cam?? is the conection tight? or a little
sloppy?

Mic one sounded the best of 'em all and may be acceptable if you keep it at
an appropriate distance from your mouth.
The rest I'm guessing are not the correct level output for your camera.
This is why I suggest folks take their cameras with them to the store to
test mics with 'em before they
