Friends-
Here is the problem. I do karaoke singing and have a decent karaoke mixer. Today I tried to do karaoke singing on the PC, with my good karaoke mic (unidirectional mic, from Radio Shack). This mic has 1/4" connector, so, I use an adapter which connects this mic into the PC's pink microphone port. The adapter has a 1/4" female port on one side (where the mic goes), the other end has the skinny connecter, that connects into the pink Mic port of the sound card of the PC. when I speak into the mic, it doesn't work (I don't hear anything in my headphone, nothing records either).
However, when I use my cheap $10 Labtek mic (that I used to use for voice chat), which doesn't require the 1/4" adapter (as i's connector is already the skinny one that goes directly into the sound card's Mic input), IT WORKS (I can hear my voice, and it records too). But, because it's a basic microphone, lots of background noise, even my breathing noise gets recorded as well.
I want to be able to use a regular vocal mic. How do I do that?
Thanks,
