you might have to make some kind of ghetto header or something

i already bought a microphone stand

Don't kill yourself

but the microphone stand broke

like 15 mins when i got it

have you tried other usb ports?

it broke

no

ima do it righht now

right*

fuck me

that fixed it

lmao

id probably tape over that old port then

u dont want to stick your dick in a vise and suddenly break something

wait

i can still hear a little bit of white noise

keep trying other ports

nah there is no white noise if i reduce the microphone thing by 20%

but im a bit quite

if it's a grounding issue, then anything from the usb port and down the line can be the cause. If you try the built in ports at the IO panel and have perfect results, then it could be your case's ports. If not, rip the item apart

hey has anyone here ever run into a "data-only" usb cable that doesn't charge your phone but allows you to tether without wasting your laptop's power

I've seen plenty of "charge-only" cables but rarely have seen data only

i had a few "data only" usb cables

i got them from the flee market

> tfw when my dumbass phone is leeching 9W of power from my laptop

isn't a data only cable just a cable with the +4.5V power lead (or 5, I don't remember) removed ?

yeah

can you guys get in voice chat and tell me if my mic quality is ok?

no (;

sorry boi

just use steam's mic test

call yourself in skype 😉

@Rey yep it's nothing special. just would rather buy one than mod one

I switched to wifi tether and my powertop usage dropped to 8 watts (from 24W) sheesh
