I don't have a suggestion for fixing the USB mic, but I can suggest a workaround if you're trying to add a voice-over: Record your narration in another program then import the audio file you recorded into Premiere. If necessary, you can use the very simple Microsoft program Sound Recorder, available under the Windows Start menu in the All Programs menu, System sub-menu, Entertainment sub-menu.
I find recording it externally easier because I can then tweak it in a program like Soundbooth for best audio quality. Once it's imported into Premiere, I slice it up into phrases (it's easy to see where phrases begin and end by looking at the waveform) and drag phrases into exactly the location I want. Slicing lets me get rid of breathing and other extraneous noise between phrases. Narrating this way typically requires a script. If you want to react to the video while you speak off the cuff, then I hope you find a way to get your USB mic working with Premiere.
