[Tweeters] When Merlin Won't "Hear"

[ck park via Tweeters]

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...
