The microphone input on most computers are not really suitable for this type of microphone - they are designed to work with cheap computer microphones for making Skype calls rather than for recording purposes. It is sometimes possible to make them work, but even then the results are usually poor. For this type of microphone you really want a sound card that has a 3 pin (XLR) microphone connector.

Commonly the case with USB microphones, though as you've deduced careful microphone positioning will usually afford reasonable results.
