Windows should recognize a plain, vanilla microphone even if it doesn't know about fancy sound tools on your particular microphone. The fact that it doesn't arrive at all suggest something is broken. The USB port on the computer, the cable, or the mic itself. Plug in a thumb drive to make sure the U...

Our old friends Fletch and what's-his-name. That makes sense. Certainly noise at 3KHz will drill holes in your ears compared to noise in other places. I hadn't thought about configuring the profile.....
