• The Recorder now shows additional controls for the selected sound source when available on your sound card, like "Microphone boost" or "Monitor" for example.

• On certain systems (primarily with Windows XP), you could not select the right sound sources in the Sound Recorder. Instead of the regular sound sources like Line-In or Microphone, it would only present Wave, or Hall, Statium and Pub for example.

• On systems with more than one sound mixer installed:
  After you permanently selected an incompatible sound mixer to use for play-back (by selecting "Don't ask again" in the mixer selection box), there was no way to get rid of the error message "Your sound card is not able to work with the chosen sound quality".
