Having Trouble Hooking Up A Condenser Microphone To My Computer Need Help

Electret is a active circuit and does require some voltage. I think the ones I've had were 2) AA cell for 3-volt, but those are way old design. The MIC on my headset is 3.5mm TRS. In the box was a little battery holder, for when not plugged into the computer
 
I suggest you go,and read the Stickies on the Newbies thread, particularly the ones one mixers and the intro to computer interface recording. You will get all the info you need there so follow their advice; it's sound.
 
Here's what you need (minimum): xlr out from mic to xlr in to usb mixer with phantom power. Usb cable out from mixer to usb in to computer. A dj mixer is probably not going to work, unless it has phantom power for xlr input.
