Re: Microphone help - two questions

Did you try at least searching the forums to see if this issue had been discussed before?

Here's one topic that is relevant - the last post was only a few hours ago!

It's not as easy as just hooking up a microphone. You need to rectify and amplify the signal.

Try this search and read up on some of the issues

I have had trouble with this one, but others have used it in audio projects. So I think I have a defective unit. This breakout board includes the microphone and a small amplifier.
