Using a mic crashed my audio
I plan on getting into music creation and today i went to pick up some stuff among them i microfon called superlux eco-88. I know it not the best of mics but i wanted something cheap. I thought my soundcard could handle this mic and for a while it could.
But all the sudden the sound stopped. Funny thing is that i can still record but not play back. I've removed the mic and even rebooted but everytime i play music i only hear silence. No it's not a loose wire. What do i do. Or should i say what did i do. Did i somehow fry the soundcard. My soundcard is a supreme fx on a crosshair mobo. Could i possibly repair the sound part without having to remove the entire board.
Now it really feels like i should have gone for a amplifier after all. Unfortunately i can't afford it right now.

Unless someone here can say for certain that i can safely use the mic i'm waiting till i can get a preamp. I really don't want to fry the card. :sad2:
I don't think the level from a microphone - unless it's got its own amplifier - is going to fry anything. It's your call, though.
Since i got this mick because it was cheap and didn't need an amp it wouldn't be right to get an amp since then i could connect all kinds of mics which would make the one i have rather useless. It is dynamic which means that it acts like a switch and doesn't require active power. As you said it doesn't feed anything and shouldn't fry a soundcard. I'll try again later.
