I had that problem too. Luckily, I had purchased an Audiobuddy used and hooked that up. It made all the difference in the world. The nice thing about that is I can use my condenser mic because the Audiobuddy has phantom power.
probably a more 2016 type option would be a USB audio interface. I use an alesis io hub. Either one will probably get the job done. The alesis will require less cabling......
