BIRD UM1, which was working very well, has become a low-quality microphone.

Hello,

I used my BIRD UM1 mic on my old laptop (ASUS) for over a year and it worked perfectly.

I recently bought a new laptop (ACER SWIFT5) and the quality has become very poor. However, when I plug the mic back into my old computer, it records perfectly.

I’ve tried all the forums and I haven't found any conclusive solutions...

Do you have any advice for me? Is it possible that it's simply my new computer that doesn't support the mic?

Thanks

    Hello,

    In this case, there is a good chance that it comes from the lower quality of the computer's sound card.
    In the worst-case scenario, try using an external sound card to see.

    See you later.

    Do you have a recommendation for a sound card model to buy?

      I don't have a model to suggest.
      It would be best to find a store where you can try some out, because depending on the models, you might not be safe from them being the same.
      Try to see if there's a sound equipment store in your area, as they sometimes have several models.

      the problem is that external sound cards offer inputs via a jack connector and not a USB connector...

      It exists in USB connection.
      I have a model that works via USB outlet.
      That's why I was telling you to check out sound equipment shops.
