I am trying to record audio within a VM by "attaching" the USB Microphone to the VM. XP detects the microphone fine and I'm able to adjust it's individual record level with the built in XP volume controler. I downloaded the windows version of Audacity to test it.

The audio it records (when you play it back) sounds very garbled; your words sound alien and all sorts of weird.

The output I have from lsusb shows the following hardware info about the mic:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0556:0001 Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Ltd AK5370 I/F A/D Converter

Off Topic (of virtualization): I've tried to record using Audacity in Ubuntu with this mic detached from the VM and it records just fine, with one exception: It seems to produce a loud clicking sound every 2 seconds or so at repetitive intervals. So that's a separate problem I have a different thread for (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1026190).
