Dave here, the mic input on a sound card is usually mono but it is 3
conductor to supply DC for the fet in a computer condenser mic, that could
be causing you some grief, plus plugging a tip sleeve plug into a tip ring
sleeve jack can also cause problems shorting out the ring conductor of the
sound card. Just a suggestion here run the mic thru the stereo, does it
have a line out or a recorder out jack if it does run that to the line in
jack on the sound card, use the stereo for a pre-amp line levels are best
not the speaker out.
Then the next run of questions is how to get the HUM out, but that is
another chapter.
Regards,
Dave_____________
