5G iPod recording clicking

Hi there. Long time rb user, first time poster.

I decided to get a Belkin Tunetalk microphone for my iPod. I thought I would just pop in to the recording screen and see what happened (I've been using the rb recording on an Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 for many years). I got some crazy levels and it turns out I was just recording some LOUD clicking sound.. much more than what you would expect to be a hard drive clicking sound. I am not able to record any sound from the mic.

Anyhow I got on the forums and looked around and saw that the recording on the 5G isn't quite working yet. So, I firured I would just boot the original firmware and use the device as it was intended. But the loud clicking sound is STILL there. However, the sound recording does work, but the clicking is much louder than the recording. One note.. if I set the quality to "low" (in ipod firmware) the rate of clicking is about half that of when it is set to high, stereo recording..

Before I totally restore my original firmware for testing/or do anything else drastic..

1) does anyone else get the loud clicking sound when attempting to use the recoring feature in Rockbox on the iPod 5G? For me it appeard weather there is a mic plugged in or not, using any combination of recording settings..

2) Is anyone able to use their Belkin Tunetalk mic successfully by booting up to the original firmware? Maybe I goofed something up during install and I can just start from scratch..

It sounds like something wrong with the device. I'd return it as soon as possible.

As far as I know, Belkin have this clicking because the HD write.
They said to use external mics. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

But I think your decice have some problem.

I have Belkin Tunetalk on my video 5G and don't work with Rockbox.
I need to made one dock connector.
I use one dock conector and external mics from Sound PRofessionals with battery box and works good.

Thanks for the responses.

I guess If someone could tell me if when they go to the recording screen in rockbox, if they see some erratic levels - that will let me know that for whatever reason my ipod is performing differently than others.

Can anyone help with this?
