Hi,

I bought the $10 microphone Philips SBC MD 110 and can't figure out
how to get it working with my Soundblaster Live! soundcard. I even
bought a mono-stereo adapter at RadioSchack thinking that this would
solve the problem but it didn't. Can somebody help me out?

Thank you!

Cristian

I bought the $10 microphone...
Wow, that much...

That mono adapter shouldn't be necessary in order to record some sound at
all.

Plug the mic on the mic input (pink colored???) of your sound card.

I pressume you're a Windows user, if not, another OS should have similar
settings.
Go to Start-Programs-Accessories-Entertainment-Volume control

Make sure the playback stuff is okay (Volume control & Wave at an
appropriate level and NOT muted).

Then go to Options-Properties
Select "recording" radio button.
Underneath, check Microphone, press Ok

The volume control will change in Recording Control.
Check the Select checkbox under Microphone and move the slider upwards.

Now you should be able to hear yourself via the speakers when talking in the
microphone. If it is still not loud enough, you could go to
Options-Advanced Controls. An "Advanced" button will appear under the
microphone slider. Press that button and check "Microphone boost". This
feature will also increase noise :-(

Hi,

Thank you for yor help. I did everything you said and I still don't hear
anything coming from the mic on my speakers. But when I recorded myself
shouting "testing, testing, testing" into the mic I could barely hear my
voice in the playback. You can hear what it sounds like in
http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/40082100...t.wav?bfJhCCAB
9jZKaAX0
So that means that there is an input signal, but too weak. Is there a way to
fix it?

Thanks

I would imagine you have the mic plugged into the line input socket,
rather than the mic in. Futz with the gain controls as well.

Incidently, we had a Mercury prize winner in the UK with the exact setup
you have + Cool edit Pro....

There may be a setup option somewhere in the SoundBlaster's
drivers to send 5V power to the mic. Make sure that is enabled.

And this question is off-topic for rec.audio.pro. The typical

microphone to scratch his ass.

If I am not mistaked, the SBLive uses a TRS 1/8" connector on the mic
in. Try pluggin a set of headphones into the mic input and talk into
both ear pieces and see if you get any sound. If you do then I am
guessing that the connector you bought for your mic is incorrect. The
TRS connector on the card isn't a stereo input. I believe it's to carry
phantom to a mic. I am pretty sure the SBLive delivers 5V phantom by
default.

If I am not mistaked, the SBLive uses a TRS 1/8" connector on the mic
in. Try pluggin a set of headphones into the mic input and talk into
both ear pieces and see if you get any sound. If you do then I am
guessing that the connector you bought for your mic is incorrect. The
TRS connector on the card isn't a stereo input. I believe it's to carry
phantom to a mic. I am pretty sure the SBLive delivers 5V phantom by
default.

Hi,

I bought the $10 microphone Philips SBC MD 110 and can't figure out
how to get it working with my Soundblaster Live! soundcard. I even
bought a mono-stereo adapter at RadioSchack thinking that this would
solve the problem but it didn't. Can somebody help me out?

Thank you!

And this question is off-topic for rec.audio.pro. The typical
audio engineer posting there wouldn't even use a $10 computer
microphone to scratch his ass.

take away the glossy packaging and you have the same Electret
inserts...........

You forgot the balanced line drivers and regulated power supply derived
power from the phantom source.

Please see http://www.cadmics.com/pdf_files/cad95.pdf page 2 for an
example.





thats part of the glossy packaging makes them work properly
