I was setting up my TX2 with internet phone software (Xten soft phone, excellent!) for sipgate VOIP service, and the other end of the phone call heard nothing.
then I tried the windows sound recorder, played with the audio control panel and volume controls, and still no sound.
plugged in a basic cheap microphone into the TX2 and everything worked.
am I mad, or does the TX2 not have a built-in microphone at all?
it's not something that'd make me sell it but it'd be quite useful, as then I could simply use a standard headphone to avoid echo and use built-in mic for speech, as it is I now have to carry a full headset. d'oh!

Hi Paul,
The specifications on Vaio-Link for the TX series make no reference to a built in microphone

Yeah, I noticed that.. but it's one of those things that you take so much for granted you kind of assume it's there... sort of like you expect to find a touch pad or mouse nipple. Must admit, I didn't realise there was no TV out either, nor a PS/2 port, the latter is easily sorted by a usb-ps/2 adaptor, lack of S-video is a minor nuisance.
overall I am still well pleased with the TX as un ultraportable, having helped colleagues in the past with sony laptops and seen all the dongles they have to carry, I think the TX is a marvell of integration!
