Do you have an old tape recorder or something to that effect that takes a microphone input? Plug it into that, and see if any sound comes out.

ermmm... why so complicated? There isn't anything simplier than unplugging the new mic and plugging in the old mic into the same spot though... You don't need anything else... just unplug new... plug in old... done

Well, my old mic connects to the USB port... does that mean it's technically not a mic?

As mentioned above, a 3/4 inch jack mic can't plug into a USB port. Thats why I suggested the tape recorder

And yes, its still a microphone, the plug is just different

It's just a basic microphone that you plug into the, umm, microphone slot (not USB or anything).

The current mic is a USB. The microphone he found and is umpteen years old is of 3/4 inch size, like a pair of headphones. He's trying to find out if the 3/4 still works.

In any case, you can only have one microphone active at any one time.
Try my instructions above again (the one with the screenshots)

When I said my old mic I meant my current one. It feels older than the really old one .

EDIT: Hmm, my USB memory broke just now I think. Completely irrelevant I know. Also, I think we should settle with that the mic doesn't work.

As mentioned above???? How can you know his mic needs to be plugged in into the USB port????? He nowhere said it was a usb-mic, until after my last post!

In fact, and as Matty also shows, he explicitly said it is not an usb-mic.

He also didn't say it was a 3/4 jack. Jacks can come in many sizes...
We know what a jack plug is and that it isn't the same as an USB port .

Vilkku, the confussion is not between "current one" and "old one". We know what you mean by that. The thing is that you explicitly said it is not an USB mic, and only after my last post said it was.

So what is it?

The old mic which I mentioned in my first post is a normal one that connects to the mic port (the old mic). The one I currently have is connected to the USB port. The reason why I said old mic in the post after yours was because it "felt new", so I typed old mic when referring to my current one without thinking.

Way old mic - mic port/jack (which one should be used?)
My current mic - USB
