Re: [GW-Booksense] booksense record question

[Butch Bussen]

I'm not sure why people think the microphone would be still on or hot if 
something is plugged in the mike jack.  The way we're wanting it to work 
is that even if you have line in selected, when you unplug the cable it 
would still record from the internal mike.  Now, you have to switch back 
to microphone.  I haven't seen the circuit, Dan could advise, but in 
most of these things, tape recorders and the like, the internal mike is 
wired to a contact that is disconnected whenever a cable is plugged in 
the mike jack.  You've got two things going on here, one is level 
control by the internal firmware, and the other is direct switching on 
the mike jack itself.  I just tried it, and it is as I thought, as soon 
as you plug anything into the mike jack, the internal mike is 
disconnected.  I think people are making this way more complicated than 
it really is.
Personally, I don't think it is that big a deal to just switch to mike

Raul,

The occasional failure to record because line in is selected is a problem. 
But the solution of always having the internal microphone on would also be a 
problem.  Imagine using an external microphone in the line in position and 
having the extra noise from handling the Book Sense, operating the controls 
and general environmental noise when what you really want is input only from 
the line in microphone.  I suggest that you retain the microphone, line in 
options and simply add another option, "both" for those who must have this 
feature.

There is another solution to the problem of getting no recording when line in 
is selected but there , is no device connected to it.  One could make the 
speaker emit a warning beep or have the unit say "no line in source" if 
recording is started and no audio detected after a certain period of time.

No. Currently if you want to use the internal microphone, it must be set to 
microphone. We will try to make it so that you can use the internal 
microphone no matter the setting, but this is not the current behavior as 
of today.

Many thanks.
