Okay I'm going to go into major depth in comparison to my first post on this forum. For those unaware, for the purpose of context and convenience, my previous post (https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/at2020-not-showing-on-pc.412813) aimed at inquiring about why my setup involving this list of items:
-AT2020 condenser microphone
-Behringer PS400 Phantom PSU
-XLR female to 3.5mm
-XLR female to male (typical cable)
Wasn't working on my computer when trying to plug it in. After testing a plethora of audio jacks located at the back of my B450 Tomohawk motherboard, including plugging it into a USB to microphone/headphone splitter (made by logitech, dont know if it has any influence), I would determine that the setup was just incapable of working.
After asking about if there were any possibilites to making my current setup function properly, I was told that an audio interface was problematically essential to running condenser microphones, let alone plugging them into a PC or laptop.
So, my questions are as follows:
1. In my previous post I asked about whether or not a USB card such as a Sabrent USB would do anything for me at all. Assuming I were to change nothing about my setup and I were to grab said USB card, would anyone be able to tell me (perhaps through their own knowledge) if it would recognise an input on my pc.
2. Again, on my previous post, I was informed about this type of audio interface:

At most I'm willing to spend an extra 150 dollars on an audio interface, but this is obviously something I would do as a last resort. Assuming I am to purchase one, would this work with any of the current parts I have and could someone redirect me to a video showing evidence that it would work with a PC.
Hopefully this post provides more detail to my situation, and I do hope that I can find a resolution soon.
