How do I connect a Shure SM57 microphone to my PC?

Probably just connecting it through an input transformer with a 150 ohm input (mike) to at least 10K ohms ('puter) output would suffice.

It depends on the type. If it is a USB type, then plug it into the usb port. If not, it will plug into the audio/mic jacks usually located on the back of your computer.

1. make sure your mic is working, try it with a stereo\n2. mic is plug in the right socket\n3. the recording volume of the respective socket (line-in or mic) is not mute or put to zero\n4. the speakers are working in playback\n5. your sound card driver is working properly, it show no warning in device manager(hardware tab in xp) under properity of my computer.

Your question is a bit unclear. Despite the fact i'll help you at my level best.\n\nAre you trying to record some digital sound signal from your laptop to the pc or vice versa? \nIf so simply use the sound cards (integrated or PCI i.e Creative Audigy) Line_In and Line_Out ports on them. The computer that receives digital sound signals should be connected with a supported cable to its Line_In, and the computer that transmits should be connected to the Line_Out. But you should remember to initialize your settings in accordance to parameters that would not create unwanted distortion (Noise Hiss..!) i.e use 50 percent volume on the master of your digital mixer and line out/in.\n\nMono Out? \nMono is only single effect on the signal, its really good for speeches but why do you want Mono. You could sometime set certain parameters to receive Mono Signals on your card if it supports such. But it is possible to recieve Digital Stereo signals and then convert them into Mono with software assistance (Nero Wave Editor).  It doesn't take much time to do that as well.\n\nMicrophone!\nYes, thisis required to collect all audio signals from the atmosphere and then route them to the digital path (if using the digital mixers). But if you are utilizing Microphones try good quality microphones that have the appropriate i.e FM mics. \n\nGood Luck!

you unplug your speakers from back of the pc,plug speaker cord from head set into the same place.then Make sure the mic cord from headset is plugged into the right place.It should be beside where you plug the speaker cord in

most 5.1 sound cards will have 3 sockets.\nthese can then be configured depending upon speaker/input connections:\nfor surround sound - front, rear and sub\nfor 2 speakers - output, line in and mic\nso just make sure it is configured for just 2 speaker mode here, and will give you the proper mic input.\n\npossibly here you are using the stereo line connection with a mono mic and will only receive one channel.\nthe speakers can be configured under sounds in control panel and recording levels in the xp volume control mixer, under options..properties.. the various control you want will be selected.\n\nbut not sure what usb adapter mentioned is :| might be a different story...

first off, make sure you have a male / male stereo connection wire (radioshack $4 - $7 bucks).  Plug it in to the earphone jack on your minidisk and plug the other end into the microphone jack on your pc.  now if your mic jack is set to mute you will obviously not hear anything so in your sound manager on your pc make sure it is set correctly.  push play on your minidisk and you should hear sound through your pc speakers.  If you have done this correctly, then either using windows sound recorder or if you have a sound card that came with software, you will have to record each song as it plays.  and unless you know how to split large wav files, you will have to be there to stop and start record with each track you want.\nIf you get this far, then you will need software to convert the wav file of the recorded tune into mp3.  Hope this helps or atleast gets you started.

Does it work in other applications?  Have you tried windows sound recorder application to see if it works there?  Do you have your mic plugged into the correct jack?

if it is just for practice then put the mic into the clean input or buy a 'splitter' for a few pounds that that allow you to plug both into one input.\nDo not buy a headset mic, by an SN57 or 58 and a cheap stand, as these will be perfect for practice and recording and live work.  you will only have to replace the headset mic as soon as you want to do anything more than sing along in your room

I don't think so, it is not that easy, a megaphone (the one you describe) is pretty complete and a lot of them have a very simple and highly integrated design. \n\nwhy on eatrth do you want to connect that to a PC? It would 100 times easier to buy a cheap microphone, and have it on the side if you want to capture the sound, the quality will be as bas as the megaphone thought!

you first need to know what sound card you have. go to the computer manufacturer's website and go to their downloads section and type in your computer model and number. i.e. presario 5786\nthey should have the specs on your computer, they may even ohave the drivers for your sound card. if they don't write down your sound card's information then go to the sound's card's manufacturer's website to get the drivers. if they don't hav e it, use google to find the drivers you need and download. never underestimate the power fo a good search engine
