Sweatshirt with velcroed (sp?) socks, undies and dryer sheets stuck to it, black pants ,hair sticking up in spikes. Simple and funny!

I am using the earphones which came with the Olympus DS-4000. I love them - they are the most comfortable earphones I've ever used. I've had them since about April 2007.

Over the last couple of months, they have developed a tinny, staticky sound. It comes and goes but the past day or so it has been pretty consistent.

I have tried adjusting the sound volume, the bass/treble, everything I can think of.

I can replace the earphones, but my concern is that the problem might be with my computer sound card, not with the earphones. Any suggestions about how to check this - or anybody else with this experience?

TIA.

Please help!!!

I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion.  I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps.  I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting.  I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

FYI:  I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.

Thanks much for trying!

I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem.  The dictator is using a Sony, (dont know what model, but it is only about a year old), which uses a memory stick exactly like the ones used in the Sony cameras.  I think he uses a microphone that he plugs into it.  There are times when there is so much static I cant understand anything he's saying.  Other times, it sounds very very clear.  I know it isnt my equipment.  It's his.  I think this happens when he's moving around.  Background noise doesnt bother me, I know it isnt background noise I'm hearing. I can tell the difference. Does anyone else have this problem?  And is there some kind of filter that he or I could buy to clean this up.  I'm using Express Scribe and tried their noise removal program, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.

I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.

Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have.
