There are so many different models of ISD, your mileage may vary, but in my
experience you want to avoid the mic input on the chip if you want good
quality sound. I've gotten great results inserting audio after the preamp
and carefully adjusting the signal level until I get the maximum before
distortion.

Cheerful regards,
