hi i just bought a pentax optio x but MIC/sound low/fuzzy, i tested the default tones as in the operation keys/start up tone they sound ok but they still sound low compared to my casio ex z4.

when i record sound/vid could it mean its my MIC/speaker? but when i play MOV file on my computier they sound crisp clear so it could be just the speaker on my optio x ?

Its very easy to cover the mic with your finger

I think you may have misunderstood Gartmore's point as you mention that you placed your ear close.

Are you sure the mic (microphone) was not covered dururing the recording?

We're talking about the microphone that records, not the speaker that plays back.
