Recording on PB520

When I try to record on my 520 all I get is a screeching noise, no matter what combination of settings I try. The first time I used it it worked ok, but when I started experimenting with the settings, I got this screeching noise. Any suggestions? Thanks Arlis __

Thank you for your note, Bruce. I suspect that you are correct; in the OS upgrade (8.1 to 8.6) and re-installation of the Dayna CommuniCard driver, I've gotten some things tangled and misplaced. We've also noticed a need for a sequenced shut-down and restart of our dsl modem and router to get our
