New member here. Greetings everyone from Los Angeles...

I just received a "Smallest HD 720p" though this may have been a waste of money ($40). We'll see. It does not have the external mic switch and doesn't say anything about H264. The button labels are in English.

Problem: I get no audio recorded in the video files (AVI's). I'm bench testing it with video out to a small display screen. When recording, the screen shows a microphone icon that is crossed out which I suppose means MUTE. Anyone know how to turn on the mic? The only menu function I can find is the Date/Time Set. I tried the Reset button with no success.

On mine (same model), the camera records sound when the MUTE LED is on. On the A8/H.264 model, this icon has an AUDIO label. Looks like that was a mistake when the label was translated. You have to press the red/orange button when recording to turn the microphone on. By default, it is off.

You are correct! Thanks for the tip.
