SingStar microphones are made for the SingStar games for Playstation systems. But the microphones have a USB connection, which also allows them to work on a computer with USB capabilities. If you already own a SingStar microphone, you can use it to record audio on your computer. You can sing along with karaoke tracks on your computer or record your voice for presentations or music. Instead of purchasing a second microphone, use your SingStar microphone for your Playstation and computer.
Step 1
Insert the SingStar microphone into an available USB port on your computer.
