Hello,
I'm trying to use a hi-fi microphone to do some digital recording.
Basically, I want sound to go from the microphone to a hi-fi *and* into
the
sound card of a computer. What I have done is to buy a splitter to split
the
sound signal so that it can be directed to both the sound card and the
hi-fi. I have also got an adaptor to plug one of the ends of the splitter
into so that it will go into the 'microphone-in' socket of sound card.
Here's a picture of the microphone, the splitter (circled in red) and the
adaptor (in yellow):

Unfortunately, when I plug the adaptor into the sound card socket, there's
no input, i.e. a recording program (like Sound Recorder) can't pick up any
signal.
Also, I find that after plugging the mic into the splitter and plugging
one
plug of the splitter into the hi-fi and *before* plugging the other plug
of
the splitter into the adaptor, I can hear myself clearly from the speakers
of the hi-fi. but afte plugging the splitter, I can barely hear myself -
it's almost as though the adaptor is some sort of 'sucker of sound'.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong here.
Thanks,
