Possibly the only video I've found that shows the actual process of connecting a camera mic to a computer rather than just saying to "plug it in the mic jack". Great video!
I needed something that would connect my cameras external mic to my iMac, so I could do smoother voice overs and not have shitty audio. This is the first product to genuinely work, it’s fairly cheap but it works. Thank you. And to anybody reading this, if this is what you’re trying to do, this is worth it.
UGH thank you!!! Omg I've been researching how to connect a simple mic, and everything was SO complicated and confusing and I didn't understand why everything was so confusing just to record audio....thank you for your straightforward video!
This helped a lot because I wanted to use the mic for the canon t7 rebel but it had an internal mic and it was too late to return it but now it has a good use for voice acting and songs so thank you very much
Man this really brings me back I remember buying one of those things like 20 years ago when I started gaming! Now I just want to use my DSLR and shotgun mic for zoom calls and my sony software won't pass through the audio so I have to do this. Thanks for the direct advice!
This is a super tutorial. I help small businesses try to do a lot with a small budget, so this is very key. For most of them, getting a camera isn't needed, when a webcam plus good audio like this is a great option. Thanks! - Dane
This is GEM!!! Who'd have known the solution could be this simple, once I know what to get. Thank you so much, Chris! I've been struggling with audio jack splitter, all I need is USB soundcard, genius!!! Do you happen to know how to check if my external mic is working with my phone thou? I'm using audio jack splitter for phone since I've yet to figure out otherwise lol
Thanks for this. Simple, short and sweet. I was confused about this seeing as I am looking to start a channel and was wondering how these CZcamsrs record audio the way they do with the arm / mic set up! And I’m glad you brought up OBS since I plan on doing reacting videos through that!
Hi there, I have a question...would this work with Zoom? And I would still be able to hear the audio normally in the conversation? Thank you! I love this video. So clear.
@@SocialMediaHowTo Sadly I did not - I tried different platforms and the best was the local mac recording software and just enhancing it. I ended up returning the card and just recording audio with a blue yeti.
I've followed you video to a T but I'm having issues with the overall microphone volume. It's like I need a amp or something. The levels are set to 100 but the recorded audio comes in quite low. Any ideas to fix this?
hi, how do you increase the mic gain for the video mic go though?I have the sound card, but placing it about arms length away from the webcam view sounds pretty low. the only placement is if i speak so close to it. thanks!
I have a sound card like this. might be the same one. I open OBS, plug in the card with nothing attached and my mic gain in OBS goes half way up with feedback. I am guessing its defective sound card huh?
I bought the sound card you recommended for my MacBook Air and there's a lot of humming in the background of my audio. Is there any way to get rid of it or do you think my sound card is defective?
do you recommend the mic plugged into a pc? as in is it good quality or would a studio mic be better? also what mic are you using bc it sounds absolutely amazing! ty
my videomic go is plugged via jack right into my motherboard as mic, it works fairly well but the sound is very quiet and has static noise. Will an usb soundcard fix theese issues?
Thanks for this video! I was exactly looking to find out how I can repurpose my vid mic Rhode into a more versatile application such as zoom meetings or podcasting or even Vlog or video content creation from my mac. Question: I'm looking for an arm just like yours attached to a desk but what attachment should I be looking for that connects with the Mic's attachment. Does this come standard with the arm? Thanks in advance!
So turns out the reason for this is that SOME computers don't use the 3.5mm jack as output, there is no voltage going out and the mic doesn't have any other power supply
Hey fella, I did this and it works but the micro RODE barely picks up any audio (unless i'm right next to the thing) Is there a way to boast the power or up the volume beyond the max in sound properties? Thanks
I have a Hewlett-Packard 6 months old and the video Rode video Mic pro. The laptop has a microphone port.I tried pluging it directly into the laptop wirhout the adapter yiu talked about. Do I still need the adapter even though my computer is pretty new? I could not get it to work.
Do you need the usb Apple adapter in order to plug the usb sound card into your Mac? I’ll be using a Mac book pro and want to know if the usb sound card is compatible
I did connect my Rode Videomic go to my computer using an audio usb adapter (not looks like your sound card), it connected but the volume input is too low. Is that because I didn't use the sound card like yours?
@@ChrisXia Finally it works well with the sound card. Before that I tried with a USB adapter, the volume is too low. OMG can't show how much I appreciate your video. Thank you Chris!
Possibly the only video I've found that shows the actual process of connecting a camera mic to a computer rather than just saying to "plug it in the mic jack". Great video!

Hello chris, my rode videomic shows up as an input device. is this a fix for this?
Love your style of showing how its done. Straight to the point and clean vocal. Nice. Subbed! ❤
Thanks for this video, have the same Rhode but didn’t know how to connect direct to laptop instead of camera

Very short and straight to the point with clear instructions! Amazing!
I bought all your dingle dongles, and this totally worked. So easy! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!! Let me know if you have any other tech questions!
Thank you so much. The only solution that worked perfectly for me
thanks a lot, i just got a rode videomic go and want to use it on my pc, it really works for me.

Hey man, thanks a lot. This has been a real pain in the butt. Finally, a solution. - Mario
You, sir, are a legend.
Glad to help
Very clear and understandable. You come across very well and have a great presenting voice as well. What microphone did you use? Best regards 😊

Thanks a lot I haven't find any video about that in Portuguese. Very very good
Hi there, I have a question...would this work with Zoom? And I would still be able to hear the audio normally in the conversation? Thank you! I love this video. So clear.
Perfect I've just had this mic sitting in a drawer for awhile.
YES!!! This was everything I was searching for on Amazon. I hope you are an affiliate, those links were my gold today. Thanks Chris!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Chris - just finding this now. I ordered the card but I'm getting a weird background buzzing. Do you know how to fix that?
Same here. Did you find a solution to this?
@@SocialMediaHowTo Sadly I did not - I tried different platforms and the best was the local mac recording software and just enhancing it. I ended up returning the card and just recording audio with a blue yeti.
@@JankleTV Thanks for letting me know.
I got the same issue. Returning mine too
@@tyreebrownart Purchased, mine also had an issue. Returned the soundcard and ended up using my Komplete Audio 6 instead.
Whew, thank the Lord for this. Haha, was getting so confused and frustrated.
Thank you for this video... such a great help!
Thank you Chris, about to give this a try, and update you guys!
Oh my gosh! Thank you
Wow..so simple and Informative, loves it bro..short n simple video wdout any other timepass
Finally it works, thank you!
super helpful video
Thanks man this is perfect, so clear
So helpful - thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.. I have the Rode Pro + since long time and I have not been able to connect to my PC. I just bought the adapter! I hope it works!
Thanks man! Great solution!
Hey man, really appreciate this!! Helped so much
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked for me.
I just ordered everything! Thank you for the help.
EXCELENT VIDEO, YOU SAVED ME A TON OF HEADACHE!! I was so ready to buy a new mic, but thank you for this!!
Glad I could help!
THANK YOU!!!!
I've followed you video to a T but I'm having issues with the overall microphone volume. It's like I need a amp or something. The levels are set to 100 but the recorded audio comes in quite low. Any ideas to fix this?
SAME. I can adjust the sound in audacity, but the mic itself is so low.
Thank you for this vid!
Thank you!
hi, how do you increase the mic gain for the video mic go though?I have the sound card, but placing it about arms length away from the webcam view sounds pretty low. the only placement is if i speak so close to it. thanks!
For some reason it works in System/Audio but not in OBS itself. Did you have to setup the Rode connect program?
Not sure about the quality on the soundcard. I bought one and it crackles but it does solve the issue
Huge... Thanks
I have a sound card like this. might be the same one. I open OBS, plug in the card with nothing attached and my mic gain in OBS goes half way up with feedback. I am guessing its defective sound card huh?
I bought the sound card you recommended for my MacBook Air and there's a lot of humming in the background of my audio. Is there any way to get rid of it or do you think my sound card is defective?
I haven’t seen this before, try it on a diff computer first and lmk if youre having the same problem
ty
Thanks !
Thanks
Thanks man! Great video!
Still doesn’t work on del computer any ideas
Hello, first off, love the vids… second, why and when would you use this technique?
do you recommend the mic plugged into a pc? as in is it good quality or would a studio mic be better? also what mic are you using bc it sounds absolutely amazing! ty
my videomic go is plugged via jack right into my motherboard as mic, it works fairly well but the sound is very quiet and has static noise. Will an usb soundcard fix theese issues?
great video, thank you
This is not working for me. After following your instructions I do NOT have the option to choose "USB PNP"
Same. I only have USB, but it seems to connect. The volume is super low though.
Thanks for this video! I was exactly looking to find out how I can repurpose my vid mic Rhode into a more versatile application such as zoom meetings or podcasting or even Vlog or video content creation from my mac. Question: I'm looking for an arm just like yours attached to a desk but what attachment should I be looking for that connects with the Mic's attachment. Does this come standard with the arm? Thanks in advance!
Yes! I believe the arm does come with a screw that you can use to attach the mic.

Hei. Thanks. Nice video. Do you have any tips on how to use it with mobile phone (Samsung S21).
Gracias, me ayudo mucho
Where can I find the same arm stand that you used?
amzn.to/3gC9L5p
So turns out the reason for this is that SOME computers don't use the 3.5mm jack as output, there is no voltage going out and the mic doesn't have any other power supply
Isn't it possible to use a adapter cable P3 to 2P2 instead of the USB sound card?
I just got the items today and there's a weird sound every time I try to see If the mic works can you help me?
where did you get that thunderbolt adapter with the HDMI, c port and USB ?
What if a PC (Desktop) already has an input mic jack.
Hey bro, how did you mount the mic to the boom arm? Do you need extra accessory for that?
What if I have the Rode VideoMic Me-L? What do I need to get to make it work as an external mic for my laptop?
hi !! do you have a link to the setup you used to connect your rodemic to the boom arm ? i cant find one anywhere :(
does it work with the rode video micro?
Hey fella, I did this and it works but the micro RODE barely picks up any audio (unless i'm right next to the thing)
Is there a way to boast the power or up the volume beyond the max in sound properties?
Thanks
Turn the physical dial all the way up on the soundcard
I have a Hewlett-Packard 6 months old and the video Rode video Mic pro. The laptop has a microphone port.I tried pluging it directly into the laptop wirhout the adapter yiu talked about. Do I still need the adapter even though my computer is pretty new? I could not get it to work.
Yes you would still meed an adapater. Unfortunately, your aux port doesn’t have a built in sound card.
Does this work on a Go pro??
Do you need the usb Apple adapter in order to plug the usb sound card into your Mac? I’ll be using a Mac book pro and want to know if the usb sound card is compatible
Yes! You need the adapter. In the video I'm using one too!
Oi, isso funciona pro Rode Videomicro?
Yes, but the problem is the cable isn’t long enough for a gaming PC
Worked for me...
But there is buzzing!
which boom do you use?
amzn.to/3gC9L5p
Chris i got Both the sound card and the extension cord, it worked but there's a loud buzzing sound in the background what do you think the problem ?
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to this?
@@SocialMediaHowTo
Yes I have got the right cord different brand
I did connect my Rode Videomic go to my computer using an audio usb adapter (not looks like your sound card), it connected but the volume input is too low. Is that because I didn't use the sound card like yours?
It’s possible! I can’t say for certain because sound cards can work differently
@@ChrisXia I ordered one. Let’s see the result. Thank you, keep going Chris
@@RyanGo_ let me know if it’s any better!
@@ChrisXia Finally it works well with the sound card. Before that I tried with a USB adapter, the volume is too low. OMG can't show how much I appreciate your video. Thank you Chris!
how aout rode mic video go 2
stupid question it should work on RØDE NT1 Signature Series as well yes? :)
I believe rode nt1 uses an xlr cable so you’d need an audio interface!
@@ChrisXia ahh thanks!
hey so does it record to your computer on the voice memos and quick time player?
I use OBS so it records to a folder I've specified.
Maybe stupid question, how is it powered?
It doesn't need to be powered!
@@ChrisXia Thank you very much for your answer!! I asked because I saw somewhere that this mic need batteries. Greetings! Chris
Works but had a delay
fantastic. you're a good guy
I've had nothing but problems connecting the RØDE mic to anything. It seriously shouldn't be that hard!! I'm ready to just throw it in the trash, ugh!
thanks...this sucks because i didn't want something else that i have to buy
I bought that sound card and it makes this terrible humming noise don't recommend
Hi, your extension is male - female, the original rode connection is male - male !!
I admire your confidence for getting in front of a camera with severe acne scars 🙏💀
Haha doesn’t phase me as I’ve gotten older. Appreciate the vote of confidence
He doesn't have a lottta scars. And why does it matter if he got scars or not? 😵Keep up what you do mate!
Holy crap man how unhappy must you be to post something like that. This video was fantastic, to the point and super helpful 👊
