It comes up as a sound device

but doesn'it imput shound through the mic

the only way i could get it to pick up my voice was by speaking into the earpiece itself...

that's fucking different

and you dont have to hold the mic up to your face

they're built better than that

it'll probably be above laptop grade or at the same level of laptop mic

depending on previous experiences

if you're at a computer and you want something that's actually decent there's heaps of chink audio equipment you can get that'll do you better than earphone mic

external usb DAC or pci soundcard? which is best?

what for?

what are you using them for?

listening to music

i can't give a measured response from that

??

through what

just your computer?

i'd say a DAc

yes

A dac with an amp if your headphones need them

if a DAC is objectively better then whats the purpose of PCI soundcards?

i've no fucking clue to this day

Gaymurs

oh yeah

"a soundacrd will stop noise stuff from getting into your motherboard and shitting up your 5.1 headset"

morning

It plugs into my $300 Gigabyte motherboard and powers my 7.1 gaymur headset complete with a whole light spectrum of LED

well in any case if you're listening to music with good headphones a DAC amp will do you well

Yeah the meme is supposed to be simple

yeah

like you actually do get buzzing from your shit a external DAc will help

but if you dont then dont worry about it

i dont think i do

My external interface cut down on buzzing

the 2i2 is a DAC amp in itself

so good

also provides phantom power

my favorite toy

Focusrite is a decent meme, Presonus too

If your money doesn't go that far

Focusrite gets memed a lot because they have a studio pack that appeals to people who don't want to think
