When i am using the sound recorder in Windows 7 and i dont want to save what i just recorded, is there a way to delete it without saving it and deleting it? When I stop recording it pops up and asks to save but if I hit cancel it goes back and says resume recording. Also can you replay what you just recorded without saving it. It sure seems cumbersom...

Hello Dr.Krptonite, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Sorry, but you will need to save the recording before you will be able to play it back. Luckily the file can just be deleted when done.

Why is volume low?
Hi, I'm using Sound recorder on windows 7 but for some reason when I record, the sound result is low. I'm using a headset microphone and when i set the mic, I spoke as loud as I can and it reached to the top of bar (I also tried normal volume) but when I recorded on sound recorder, I hear the voice very low even on the volume 100. How can I fix this problem? I don't know if it may be my headset's fault seeing I don't know my headset's original product on voice... I hope you can reply to this question fast because I am a very forgetful person and I would probably forget I posted here and I need it fast

Hello TearDroplet, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Double check in Sounds in the Control Panel (Icons view), then look in the Recording tab, double click on your default recording device (Microphone) with the green circle checkmark icon. Next, look in the Levels tab to see if you have an option to increse the DB level or like one below of the microphone to help make it louder.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
