Has anyone been able to listen on the earphone while recording? I was hoping for that so when I do videos I can also hear what you are getting audio?

I have not been able to listen to earphones through this device. That is for whet I bought it and it was useless for me.

I have been able to monitor that way, but usually get a recording of the first track (at a lower level) bleeding into the second track when I monitor. I am going to try a "work around" with my mixing board first in line (after the mics) into the Tascam, then into the iPad.I got it working well by patching the headphone out into a small stereo to boost the levels for monitoring, and then using headphones plugged into the stereo.

Yes, it does work. The only problem is that sometimes you can get feedback in the recording.

Yes, there is a speaker for sound playback when recording. I just tried it and it does record sound and play it back

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

All this is very true. I solved the problem by going to a Cannon. I don't always have the ability to record an seperate audio track. In studio I can. I use Pinnacle 18 as my editing tool so a seperate channel is no problem! I wish you luck. I will stick to Cannon!

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

Yes we have this too...plus a ticking noise! My husband just noticed it, and was like what the heck? You can actually hear it on the video while playing back if we are recording in absolute silence. When he shuts off the auto focus the ticking noise stops. I would be interested in others with this camcorder to comment on the noise.....I mean is this a defect or something that is just the way the camcorder is?

not that I know of...but I only use the device occasionally. I attach it to headphones and listen while it records though sometimes...

Be sure that the headphone really is plugged in all the way. Athough I purchased the Ubuntu version, the hardware is identical. I noticed that it requires a bit more force to plug in the headphone than I expected, so the first couple of times, I got no audio, because I wan't really plugged in.If you still get no audio, that may be a product defect. In that case, contact Amazon or ASUS for exchange or warranty.

According to the instructions, in the Menu there is an option for Audio Record - "On/Off". I have never used this option---I leave it in the default Audio mode (On).

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

Use headphones. With only the recorder's internal speaker, sound is at very low level, barely usable for checking whether you got the desired audio material. With earphones, very good, more than adequate for recreational listening, dependent on the earphones of course. I'd say with high end or monitor headphones (or a good stereo system), it produces excellent output.

I haven't tried it in that way (phone calls). My experience with the product has been a challenge. I purchased it to record video interviews and it recorded, but the feed for the headphones didn't seem to work. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(

I had the same experience, then realized that I still had the earphones plugged into the ION tape machine. Did you try playing the files after disconnecting the earphones, and perhaps even the ION player? Fixed it for me! (Sorry about the big type--don't know why it's doing that.)
