[Athen] Dragon with Windows 7

[Nettie Ficher]

Thank you Ed.  This is not a laptop but it is a touch smart computer which has everything housed in the base so it might very similar to a laptop.  Now, I am assuming that  i go into the control panel. But not too sure.  If you have simple directions, I would be greatly appreciated.

When we moved to DNS 11, those same microphones did not perform as well and so I tried an Andrea USB microphone with integrated sound card (model NC-181VM USB).  After making the switch to the Andrea USB mic, we have had no issues with the microphone and DNS seemed to function much more reliably.
