its this mic… https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aokeo-Professional-Streaming-Podcast-Microphone/dp/B0875T3D9R/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=R5auy&content-id=amzn1.sym.e215a1f0-4be8-4c82-83fb-a0db8abe7c00&pf_rd_p=e215a1f0-4be8-4c82-83fb-a0db8abe7c00&pf_rd_r=2P4J5XNT6SDA4V5EGPRN&pd_rd_wg=lXpky&pd_rd_r=225d6647-58a5-484d-ba3c-1f24e8b6cf5d&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m

strangely … as I was trying to figure out how to get it to work, I went to audacity … clicked record and a window came up … some problem or other
I decided to uninstall audacity then reinstall
then I got audacity up and spoke into the new mic… bingo an audio
signal came up and my mic was working

the mic says £39 on that link but I got it for 32.99
Its giving exellent quality audio so Im pleased with it right now

So I think Im sorted… thanks for help
