My newer XA10 does not show the audio levels when using the internal mic as my older XA10 does.

I've been through the menu repeatedly and cannot find a way to make this happen, any suggestions?

This might help .. Audio level meters (http://xa10forums.com/questions-observations-and-speculation/audio-level-meters/)

Cheers.

They are talking about external mic settings, Alan. I'm talking about internal. I'll dig out my manual after I wake up, must go to bed.

The XA10 shows the audio level when it is switched to M but not to Auto. This may be your problem.
Giving my XA10 a workout in the Canadian Rockies at present.

Christopher, thanks. I was in M mode, as I white balance, etc manually at all times, but I'll try switching to auto and then back to see if it will help "kick it" on or something. thanks again!

I see now Chris, go to menu, AUDIO, and you can choose auto or manual gain, and also whether to have indicator on even during auto. I guess I set it up on my first cam and forgot how I did it.
