If you supplied a link is would be helpful. I would enjoy the sounds
myself. I make recordings of birds that I shoot in DV video separate with
remote mic to receiver that is connected to sound card of laptop. I use
various mics connected to Radio Shack 900Mhz 8 channel Wireless Audio Link
http://tinyurl.com/a3kvg and http://tinyurl.com/e2uu4 Receiver. I use Nero
SoundTrax for recording and editing SW. I then lay the audio clip into the
video for great results. You could also make available clip stream from web
site while viewing photos.

Thanks for the link but for some reason I hear no sound. I will have to see
what is going on with that. After I responded I was wondering if it might
have been more than you intended and actually wanted to record directly from
your camera's mic. Sorry if I did not directly answer your question.

I get everything right but I hear no sound. I check all my settings and
they are fine. I open Quicktime and it plays other sound files ok but still
no audio from the links. I am sure it must be something on my end but I am
disappointed I have not gotten to listen.
