I bought this mic and connected it to my computer from an XLR to usb and a 6.3 to 3.5mm adapter, but nothing happened. Anyways to fix this?

You can't use it on a computer only !! Need to use it on powered speakers or a mixer ect...

probably:-your mic (assuming you have a condenser mic that needs phantom power?)-xlr mic cable male to female-mic cable with female xlr on one end and an 1/8" male stereo or mono plug (you'll have a mono to stereo issue on the input to your computer but you can most likely fix that in garageband/protools)-you may need a direct box if the signal isn't hot enough for your computer's audio input, if so you'll need a few more cables to be able to rout the direct box inI think that's it?

As I don't know what you know about computers, I suggest the following. If you know all this, I apologize. Make sure your Behringer XM8500 is selected in 'Recording Devices' in 'Sounds' in the control panel. Your computer could just be picking up sound from the built-in mic.

Is it possible that it is the problem of your microphone, which may be tried to other equipment to see if it works. I used to purchase a new microphone which did not work only after being used once and it was no sound when I plugged in and had no idea what was going on. and check to make sure if every function knobs have been turned on. good luck

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I never had much for problems with my mic. What type of program(s) are you using that's picking up the noise? And what's your operating system? I've used mine with things like Skype and Bandicam and it works fine (both on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1). I did notice I tried it with Steam before and it was picking up noise from my headphones, so not sure if that's related (but Steam seems to do this a bit with other people and their hardware as well).

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

I don't know? I don't connect it to anything that has a microphone. Does your microphone work on your device with a headset plugged in? It would be the same principal.

It would record properly thru the mic only. Any input via line-in was distorted. I first thought it may be the cable, but tried another cable with same results.

I had that problem with one of my cell phones, and I never solved it. I purchased a different phone , and it showed up on my computer. As for this microphone, I plugged it in my usb port, and it automatically showed up and worked. Try different usb ports if available, some have different settings.

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

Check the volume of speaker. Make sure you plug in both the USb and the microphone into the computer. If problem still persist, call customer service.

Nope. I own that mic and it has a USB connector, not an XLR. Only buy mics with xlr or rca connectors.

Ok what is it is the hole on the computer too big or too small for the plug from the headset? Do you have a connection for each of the mic and the ear pieces or just one? For newer computer the Head set has a single 3.5MM connection with 4 contact rings that will work with newer phones, tablets and computers both apple and windows. for older computer that separate connection for the mic and speaker they provide an adapter cable that is color coded green for speakers or headphones and pink for mic. The other adapter is a 2.5 mm for older cell phones and many wireless home phone. From your post I have to guess you have the 2.5 mm adapter installed, remove it and plug the cable directly into the computer. Hope this helps.
