What mic are you using? Mine packed up a while ago, and seemed to have insufficient gain as well.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

A Clippy Mono EM272 Omni microphone (FC047) from FEL Communications https://micbooster.com/clippy-and-plugg ... one-em272m, plus a furry windcover https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D9CCP19 ...and a UGreen USB soundcard https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N905VOY
Transducers using the EM272 seem to be the recommended microphone according to the wiki.
It's just under the eaves of my office building so that it's shielded from the worst of the wind & rain. Host is a Pi4B.
I did find that using a microphone extension lead caused all sorts of noise issues, so I moved the Pi instead!

if you try to play back recordings, are they easily audible? With the mic I used (which has now packed up) they were recorded at such a low level they were virtually inaudible, although it seemed to be able to make identifications ok.
I was using one of these with the same Ugreen sound card:

Sometimes they can be pretty quiet, but to be honest I only listen to the occasional bonkers one just to check what's going on!shane wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 2:46 pm if you try to play back recordings, are they easily audible?

The mic I'm using is just their encapsulated EM272, so it's the same transducer as yours, just packaged by them rather than us.
