|  Mic and EMU help
Anyone know how i could plug a normal desktop microphone (using 3.5mm connection) into my EMU-0404 ?
My PC does have a microphone input but i am not sure whether it works while my soundcard is on, and i don't want to buy some crappy pc headset when i have £200 monitors infront of me. |

Any mic that doesnt plug in via XLR is crappy.

I'm only using it for voice comms over CSS, ive herd many people talk through CSS and i can hear them fine - it's not recording quality, obviously, but it's adequate.

How do USB mic's work ? Presumably they still somehow connect to the onboard audio or something ?

usb mics are powered through the usb bus from what i know, but ive never used one.
Ive only ever used condenser/dynamic mics which connect via XLR.

you can have any microphone connected through any input, with any other sound card for playback. Just select which device to use in control panel.

My USB mic is separate from the sound card entirely, so it's selected directly in that audio selection screen, same for in Ventrilo.
