Having done a bit more reading, it seems that the PC mic is probably expect 5V "plug-in power" on its middle pin, and I would something to convert 48V phantom power to this.

Definitely doesn't seem worth it at this point!

I got that same adaptor and I think it’s worth it only because I didn’t have to get a new mic, my motherboard mic input was extremely noisy, and it’s much easier to adjust gain via my interface.

Hi all! I have a Behringer UMC404HD That I'm using to plug in a condenser mic and a bullet harmonica mic. It works great when I'm working with my DAW or listening to anything on my speakers or headphones, but there's a problem with regular talking on the internet.

The Behringer drivers present the 4 audio inputs to Windows 10 as 2 stereo inputs rather than 4 discrete mono inputs. This results in a mic signal that consists of silence in one ear.. For steam chat and zoom, it seems to work passably if I just turn the gain on my condenser mic way up, but Discord will usually completely disregard my input as if it thinks my talking is just background noise.

Does anyone know a way to send specific apps a mono input signal or separate out the "stereo" inputs that Windows allows me to set as the default communications device? Thanks in advance!

I have the same interface. If you plug the mic you want to use into the “Left” channel (IE 1 or 3), and set the gain on the right channel all the way down, Discord should work and automatically downmix to mono.
