Hey

Thanks for help so far. Yes have tried the normal sound recorder (and later
installed Creative Recorder) and its distorting on that. Its actually a
friends computer and he said this was happening with his old soundcard (on
motherboard one which is now disabled in bios) which is why he got a new
one. Wonder if its possible the creative card could still be using
something from the old soundcard's drivers?

Thanks for help.
