Hello,
I just bought a AKG C680 BL Microphone (Jack stereo Native and XLR adaptator) to record my voice under Windows.
As i plug the microphone, i can hear some noisy sound but after i can't hear my voice at all... (i have to scream in the microphone to hear a little of my voice...). It sounds like there is an amplification problem. I also plugued it in my Osprey XLR card , but stil no hear voice at all...
Before sending the microphone back to the vendor, i would be glad to read some specialist advises
Here are the microphone specs :
