Here is my setup:
Shure SM7B > XLR > Cloudlifter > XLR > Alto ZMX52 > x2 3.5mm OUTPUT to Desktop PC "Line in" input port
The microphone works fine on my desktop PC. Now I've tried plugging it into the laptop.
1) I tried plugging my microphone direct into my laptop's headphone port (it doesn't capture any audio).
2) I bought a 4 pole plug (x2 3.5mm socket leads). One of the leads is for microphone input and the other is for headphone output. The microphone now captures audio, however there is a massive static/buzzing sound in the microphone when I try to record. I'm not sure if this static/buzzing sound is due to the new cable I purchased (the x2 3.5mm socket leads) or if it's due to the laptop.
What is the solution to removing this buzzing sound? Do I need a better x2 3.5mm cable or do I need an external sound card of some sort?
