== Disable the Microphone Input ==

The USB driver for the FFCS creates two audio inputs for recording: microphone and line-in.  The FFCS hardware is designed to only use the line-in device for recording and does not use the microphone device.  To avoid conflicts with the two input devices, it is recommended that the microphone input device be disabled so that the line-in input device is the only recording device available for the FFCS USB driver.  Perform the following steps to disable the microphone input device:
* Open the Windows Sound Control Panel
* Select the Recording tab to view the available recording devices.  At a minimum you should see a device labeled "Microphone - eMDee Audio Device 0" and a device labeled "Line - eMDee Audio 0".
* Disable the microphone device by right-clicking on it and selecting "Disable" as shown in the following image:

You should also set the audio levels for the input and output devices by right-clicking on the device and selecting "Properties".  Click on the "Levels" tab in the Properties window to set the volume for each device.  For this application, a volume level of 70 is a good level to begin withe for each device.  The levels can be adjusted later for personal preference.
