Mark,
The soundblaster card arrived yesterday and installing it was quick & easy. I get the sound out of the laptop all right-but couldn not get the mic to put out any sound.
When I tap it, I hear a 'pop'-but no sound comes out when I speak.
When all else fails, I believe in 'reading the instructions'-so I loaded the software disk and read the manual (didn't load the software-just the manual).
The whole manual has only one line in it concerning microphones. It says 'connect a condenser microphone" and that's it. No troubleshooting comments.
Now I don't know a 'condenser' mic from a hole in the ground-so I went to the internet to find out what it was.
I quickly found out that there are two basic types of mics-condenser and dynamic. The rest of the technical stuff didn't mean much to me.
It turns out that the mic that came with my karoke machine is 'dynamic-so I assume that's the reason it doesn't work with the Soundblaster card.
Does that sound about right to you ? I will look for a 'condenser' type mic on the internet-but I would like to know if I'm on the right track before I do so.
There is also the possibility that the soundblaster card is defective-but I think the problem is the wrong type of mic.
Your thoughts-or anybody else's ?
Thanx for your help !
