I have the HyperX Cloud ii and the USB adapter is broken, and HyperX are selling it for £30 for replacements, and i don't really want to pay that. Just wondering if anyone knows of some cheaper replacements, either sound card or USB adapter, but will still make sure my mic sounds good as that is the main issue with just using the aux port. Thanks
Get a cheap USB adaptor. Max around £5, not more. It won't have inline control like the one you had. And I'm not sure of the mic quality but you can't expect much from it. You can try these, won't hurt if you don't like it: https://ebay.co.uk/itm/External-5-1...-Card-mic-headphone-Raspberry-UK/152788034675
Yeah not too bothered about the in-line controls I had, may try one that does have them accessible for a cheap price tho. It will likely improve my mic quality compared to normal plugging it into the headphone jack though wouldn’t it?
The normal headphone jack at the back of your PC is on motherboard and some some motherboards do not provide enough isolation. So the mic or headphones have some interruption that can be heard when using those ports. USB solves this issue but I cant guarantee the quality on cheap USB sound cards.
