How to Install Simple PC Microphones
It's easy to install a basic PC microphone (meaning that all it does is record sound with no other frills like specialized software). You just have to make the appropriate connection from the microphone to your computer's sound card. Simple PC microphone's are "plug-and-play" devices, which means that Windows automatically installs any necessary software once the device is connected.
