Tom, if you get into the notes area on the new Stream you can go 
to a place where it says something about recording volume.  I 
don't have the thing here, but check it out.  I had some strange 
issues last week where I recorded some notes only to find loud 
static when I played them back.  Have also had other issues where 
the Stream or the HW server deleted a bunch of my podcasts etc.
