You start in the spaceship. After you step off the path, you pass a door on your right. Two clicks forward from the door, turn and face left. If you follow the path, you'll come to a small creek or stream that you can hear. There's both a button to press, and the blue page here. The button turns on a microphone. There are five microphones in all, and five different symbols for each. Get back on the main path.
Climb the stairs in front and to the left of you. Click on the button at the top of these stairs. You can hear the volcano like chasm. Get back on the path and proceed until you come upon the large clock. Click on this microphone. Continue forward and take the right fork. Continue down the path, down some stairs, and find a mike for a tower looking symbol. You'll find the red page here. Retrace your steps back to the fork. Go right and you'll find the final button to click at the wind symbol.
There's a ladder here, go down it and turn on the light. Turn around and walk down the tunnel. Climb the ladder and then the stairs. There'll be a box looking thing with metal doors. Click it to open it. There're tuner buttons, five symbol buttons, and a "sigma" or playback button. The object here is to "tune" in the sounds of each object with where they are on the display. You can do this by hand, letting the display tell you when you're close (the hand will blink a lot), or you can enter the following numbers. To enter them, click on the symbol for stream, volcano, clock, tower, or wind; tune in the number; and move on to the last one.
After entering the numbers, press the sigma or playback key and listen closely. The order played back is different. You need this order to get into the shack. The order is: tower, stream, wind, volcano, clock. Enter them into the panel on the shack you passed earlier. Push the button and enter!
This demented Donkey Kong country Nintendo action sucks. It takes forever using trial and error to map out where to go. Just follow these instructions: Get into the driver's seat and press "FORWARD". Here're the steps: North, West, North, East twice, South twice, West, Southwest, West, Northwest, Northeast, North, Southeast, and exit the vehicle, click on the book and you'll get back to Myst.
