Microphone setting

[pduffer]

Is there a way to adjust the microphone volume setting or sensitivity on the Iconia tab?

Since nobody seems to be aware of a setting to increase the microphone recording level, is anybody aware of a microphone that can be used with the Iconia Tab A500? Does anybody else have a problem with their microphone?

I have the same remarks on the microphone settings but no answer as well. I will continue to search for an answer and if found will inform this forum.

I'd love a mic/headset that I could use while video chatting on tango with my girlfriend.

There is no such thing as Microphone Settings on the A500. If you have an older batch, then you are out of luck... or ALMOST

The newer batch of the A500 (same SKU, same Part Number, same Model Number...) has a major design change/correction that resolves the microphone issue. I saw one a few days ago. On an older batch, the microphone is located on the left AND under the glass, MUFFLED, that is. On the newer batch, the microphone is located in the center, where the glass meets the aluminum AND there is a visible rectangular (small, but visible) opening for the microphone TO BREATHE!!! HAHAHA. Acer finally corrected the DESIGN FLAW. BUT Acer will claim that there is nothing wrong with your flawed designed A500!!! GO FIGURE. Suggestion? Try to force Acer to replace your STILL IN WARRANTY unit for you AND do everybody else a favor, as I have done, and contact the Better Business Bureau, your State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission, your Senators and everybody that you know who has an older batch of the A500. Acer's support is crap. Their customer service is crap and dumb. Their US operation is crap. They will remain crap until they replace the piece of crap THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY, a warranty that states the following actions to be taken in case of poor performance or design...

1. repair (unit is unrepairable)
2. replace
3. refund the amount you paid for this piece of crap

People, act. Don't just sit and complain.
