Hi, I just want to give a heads up, I'm new here I my knowledge about microphones and audio engeenering is rather low, so please beasr with me.
I have a basic setup of a NEEWER NW-800 microphone and a NEEWER NW-100 phantom power. It is perfect for my use, but there is this awful noise when use it with my laptop's mic jack, (note that microphone is 100 and mic boost is 0 in win settings). I have this external sound card like thing (sorry I don't know the technical term), it looks like a big pendrive with 2 jack ports. Using that the sound is very clear but a tad too quiet, and there is no mic boost in the windows settings for that.
I would like to find out what causes the noise, and if I can increese the volume somehow.
