Once you have your setup working you may want to invest in a higher quality line-in device if you're hearing extra noise. Many built-in audio jacks on a computer are relatively noisy and can introduce an extra hiss or static to the audio. While this won't affect your GoXLR output to a recording or a stream you may hear extra noise through your heapdhones. Warning: The quality of the line-in device and the cables you use will affect the quality of the audio. If your line-in device has two RCA jacks instead (the Sound Blaster K3+ has this for its line-in input) you can instead use a mini-y adapter cable (3.5mm jack on one end, two RCA jacks on the other end). On the Sound Blaster K3+ I plugged this into the Mobile I/O jack. Plug the other end of the 3.5mm audio cable into your free line-in jack. If you are sending the line-in output to the headphones output you will cause severe distortion and potentially damage your GoXLR. Warning: DO NOT plug the other end of this cable into your GoXLR's line-in jack. Unplug your headphones from the GoXLR's headphone hack and plug in a 3.5mm audio cable instead. CablingĪny existing cabling and setup you're using with your GoXLR can stay as-is except for what is plugged into the headphone jack. Too many devices on one port can overload your system, just like plugging in too many power plugs to a single power strip can cause problems. If you don't even have a free USB port you can get a USB hub to give you more ports, but this only works to a certain extent as your computer's USB controller has a limited amount of resources and all of the devices you pluig into the hub have to share the bandwidth of the one USB jack on your computer. If your computer doesn't have a free line-in jack but does have a free USB port you can get a device which will work as a Line In. The jack usually looks something like this: Most desktop computers have a line-in built into them. This setup requires a working physical line-in jack on your computer. This would also work for headsets that plug directly into USB, such as the Razer Kraken Kitty. I am using a Creative Sound Blaster K3+ for my line-in device and a Logitech G733 Lightspeed Wireless Headset as my headset.
As long as you have a free line-in audio jack on your computer (or can purchase and attach one) you can use any headset with your GoXLR, even wireless headets with a USB dongle.
