Tomas, How about black and blue? :-_
If your microphone is powered, and if your PC has line in input - you should connect the microphone to line-in.
The problem is that the front line-in port is either not connected or just doesn't work. I replaced the speakers with the headphone on the rear (motherboard) port, and the mic in the rear line-in and pavucontrol shows the horizontal VU monitor fluctating with my voice and the radio in the background.
Microphone inputs are meant to be used with dynamic (not powered) microphones -- unless the port can autodetect and switch between microphone and line-in modes. Consult you motherboard documentation. That is why your powered microphone presence is not detected.
Well the Yamaha has a dynamic mic. I just removed the battery box from the input line and this works.
Your particular usage mode is being increasingly uncommon these days as most PCs do not have line-in, even stereo inputs, relying on USB headset and soundcards to provide these.
Yeah, well, I spent the money on this over-the-ears headset and now I know that the Asus Prime X470 Pro motherboard will accept the microphone's input and pass output to the headphones as long as I use those ports rather than those on the case front. All's good now. Thanks very much for your insights, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
