You keep dragging us back to the idea your iMic failed.

That's a Behringer UCA-202 USB/Stereo audio adapter. We personally have many of these things in operation under many different circumstances and they all work.

It has one feature you might find handy in your application. It has the ability to listen to your sound feeds both directions without involving the computer.

I think they're something like $30 USD.

Once you get that running, post a different topic about your mix-down problems. That's not normal.
