Hey everyone,
I've recently bought the se5 electronics mic, link here, http://www.seelectronics.com/se5-mic/
I'm trying to use it with this XLR to USB cord - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XLR-Microphone-to-USB-Link-Cable-for-PC-Mac-In-Built-Sound-Card-Plug-Play-/172150412942?hash=item2814f6d68e:m:medfHYzO2EO2Pf5-AZPDEhQ
I've done all the standard troubleshooting so far, ranging from checking if the device is muted to reinstalling my motherboards drivers along with USB drivers. Also tried plugging into different USB ports. The PC can detect the mic and it shows up under recording devices, but it won't record and I don't get any green bars either.
All I've managed to get is a static noise played back to me from my speakers if I tick "Listen to this device", the mic is also picked up as a speaker device if that's any help. Would appreciate any and all input, thanks.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, it's the most relevant sub-forum I could find.
Edit: I'm on Windows 7, I have VIA HD Audio Deck (which is terrible imo) and I can post a dxdiag if that would help
