merlin on my android stopped "hearing" anything. i know the recording
volume is fine, but even with birds chittering feet away, the sonograph
barely budges from background noise... even when i speak directly into the
microphone, the sonograph barely moves, and nothing comes out where i play
it back.

phone still works fine, as do media players and the default sound recorder
app... it was fine a month ago, so i'm not sure what's happened in the
meantime -- no update since that i know of...
