Hi! After moving my computer from one place to another, I have noticed that I can't make any recordings with my cheap 1/8 Mic through the Mic in on my soundcard - i get no signal (only a cracking sound while plugging the mic out while its still recording). If I plug in another High Impedance 1/4 Mic in the Mic in (using a 1/8 adapter), and use "Microphone boost" option on the soundcard settings, it's the only way I get a recording signal.
I have tested both Mic's on another computer and they work, but on this one only the 1/4 works while on "Microphone boost".
Playback works just fine. The 1/8 worked for me better for the settings in terms of recording some demos, so I didn't want to invest into anything yet.
Note: After moving the computer and trying to record with the 1/8 for the fist time or so, I managed to get a very distorted/hissing sound, but after that, i got nothing,
Can it be that I've damaged my soundcard in some way?
