A common problem with usb mic mics i have seen is the audio to you computer is turned off, does this share the same problem. does it work with win8?

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Windows 8. Most USB microphones act like they are external sound cards, or like headsets, where both the sound in and the sound out goes through them. They usually have their own headphone jack, and this mic is no different. All you have to do to fix this is go into the control panel while the microphone is installed, under sound and the playback tab, you change the default sound to the computer speakers. This only has to be done once and the computer remembers when you plug the mic in.

Hello, The Q2U works with my Windows 8.1 machine that I just update. I did just lower the volume alittle bit in preferences because Windows 8 setsthe default volume at maximum gain

I do not know about Windows 8 because I still have Windows 7, but I was able to hear the sound through the computer.. To do so with this mic you just have to adjust the setting in the cakewalk software and the computer..

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all! Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

Cecil A. You would like to know if Focusrite Scarlett Studio USB Audio Interface works with Windows 8. Without having Windows 8, I will refer you to Focusrite's site and answer from their Support section. In short they say the Scarlett does work with Win 8. See http://global.focusrite.com/answerbase/focusrite-audio-interface-compatibility-%E2%80%93-windows-8 As far as the rest of the supplied software you will likely find the answer on the individual manufacturers' web sites. There should be no problem, but it would be prudent to check anyhow for your desired usage. Best of luck.

Using with Windows 8.1 and works very well with USB. Haven't tried the mic so not sure. But believe it can. I hope this helps.

Candy, No. It doesn't connect directly to your computer. It uses a standard XLR type connector and requires a mixer. I would suggest this low cost USB mic: http://goo.gl/A52TfW I have two and I love them. They can use USB/direct to computer AND XLR direct to a mixer. Very high quality for the money.

Check the volume of speaker. Make sure you plug in both the USb and the microphone into the computer. If problem still persist, call customer service.

No, I use it for my Windows computer. It's just the same as a normal desktop microphone for a computer.

I have been using this microphone as my computer mic for a few years now. No issues at all, I only saw this conversation because I am buying a replacement mic, since mine has finally worn out.

All I can tell you is that it works GREAT with Windows 7. I was a little concerned when I bought it because I thought it had been geared toward Vista-but gave it a try because I wanted a mic with a USB. My laptop recognized it no problem. Am very happy with it - I use it to google hangout with my family in Dominica (West Indies) because they could barely hear me with my laptop mic and would cut in and out. No problems now!

Window 7: Control Panel: Hardware and Sound: Sound: Select the Recording Tab:See if the microphone is recognized. I set mine as default. Then selected Configure. If not recognized. Then may be a driver problem. Also might want to try a different microphone in microphone jack.

"The mic", I had to buy a USB Converter, but I got mine for $2.18. So its not to bad. I got mine at ----> HDE 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter. The mic isn't powered, so it needs a usb converter. Plus almost all computers have usb, not line-in.

I had never tried it before, only having it as a backup for my Mac recording setup, which worked fine. I just fired up a Windows 8.1 tablet and plugged the cable into a Heil PR40 and then into the tablet and it detected and recorded fine. The Heil is a quiet mic and it would have liked a bit more gain but it was not a big issue. I could have adjusted this in the audio controls on the recording software.

That depends on exactly how you want to use it. This mic will require some sort of interface and that is what will need to be compatable with Windows 8 (which is likely it will be). This will not plug into a regular sound card as it requires an XLR jack. You can buy XLR to TRS converters as well as USB converters. However, this mic comes in a USB version. It would work excelent as a Blog Caster's mic. Windows 8 most certainly has generic drivers that would work with it. ASIO4ALL is a good generic open source driver available free (search ASIO4ALL, you can't miss it). So if you want to plug directly into your computer this mic will be problematic without other appropreate equipement. The AT2020USB will plug directly into a USB port and any audio software should see it as an available input.
