I received a Blue Snowball USB microphone for Christmas and am having issues running any software to equalize the audio I'm getting from it because my internal soundcard is hosed up. This thread consists of two questions: 1. Does the Snowball USB microphone require a direct connection to a computer for anything other than power? Does it require processing functions that are handled by the plug-n-play drivers on the device? Does the USB connection just deliver audio to the PC? If the above is possible/true, then... 2. Where can I find a powered USB female to 3.5mm aux cord adapter? The female USB hub MUST BE POWERED, which cannot be done from the 3.5mm connection to the computer. Is there an adapter that sends audio from a USB device into a physical mic-in/line-in while powering the USB device? I have a Blaster Z soundcard that does not recognize USB connections (it does not have a USB in and does not acknowledge USB connections to the motherboard), and this is what I intend to use the 3.5mm adapter to connect to. If there is a software solution that would let me spoof the soundcard's line-in and mic-in ports without VST fuckery or those freeware "virtual cables" (none of them work for me), please post it.

Sorry for not mentioning it in the OP. I'm on Windows 7 64 Ultimate Edition. This is the problem I need to solve:  My new soundcard only accepts direct connections to its line-in and microphone 3.5mm ports. I intended to receive this type of microphone but the person that gave me this one didn't read all of my notes on what I wanted this christmas (and there were a lot of bulletpoints on this point so I don't blame them for missing one of them, even if it was vitally important...). To get a direct connection I want to find a powered usb female --> 3.5mm out adapter. I don't care how hacky this solution is, I don't want to return this gift. I am willing to spend stupid amounts of money to not upset the giver. Edit: and to be clear, I have googled this. Edit2: had a bit of a breakthrough. What's the cheapest physical equalizer/pass through that accepts USB audio and has 3.5mm output? RoanHorse fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Dec 27, 2015 |

Grey Area posted:Are you sure you need Creative's Crystalvoice? Have you tried recording with the Snowball mic? The drivers that come with the mic may have similar features to whatever Creative's software does. If the results are good you can ignore the Soundblaster software entirely. The drivers for the Snowball don't include any actual software, they just let the computer recognize the mic. There is no equalizer, audio balancer, anything like that. All of the software I've tried does not use my new soundcard and immediately attempts to use the broken internal card, with poor results. It's looking like I'm going to be replacing this microphone anyway...

Does anyone know of an android application that does live playback of the input from USB OTG audio source? I'm currently trying a setup with an old Android device (that recognizes and utilizes the Snowball) but I can't find any apps that let me just... Route audio out of the device... [this reply will probably get cross-posted into an Android thread when I get chance]
