Hey all, I am new to the prop controllers and sound recorders. I'm hoping that somebody has had this issue and has solved it.
Last year I purchase one of the Cowlacious servo controller boards and loved it. This year I purchase three of the CAP200 and One of the CAR/P200. I'm running into an issue.
I have tried recording and I know it is, but the sound is so faint. I've tried recording from three different sources. First was my big desktop computer, then I tried my laptop, finally I tried my iPod. Even with all sources turned to the max and the volume on both units up as high as I can go. I can barely hear anything with the speaker volume at the max.
I am running it though powered amplified computer speakers and I have tried using sound software to boost the volume, but that just comes out sounding pretty bad.
I even tried the headphone jack on the speakers and turned it up, that was just so distored I can't use it.
I really want to get this to work, because I would like to trigger these off of my Prop1 and 2
Any suggestions?

Geez, I wish I could be of more help but I'm really sure what the problem would be.
Hopefully some of the other members will be able to help you out.

Thanks, I may have discovered an issue with the chips. I purchase four chips from him. One was the 17180 and three are the 17120. The 17180 and one of the 17120's are working great. I can record and play back with plenty of volume. The other two don't, they also don't seem to record for the full time. I have sent an e-mail to the support of Cowlacious and am waiting a reply.

Just talked with Terry at Cowlacious and he thinks the chips didn't get initialized, he is sending replacements out. What a great guy, great service.
Ended upi purchaseing additional stuff from him on the spot.

Recording level –

The recording level of the mp3 might have been low. You might need to rerecord the mp3 and boost the level. If you don't have the software pm me.
