It requires a mic input to work with a PC since it requires a 'receiver' to process the sound. Also be aware that this mic is highly sensitive and will produce feedback (high pitched sound) if its near receiver. A simple was to use this mic is to plug a power cord into the red plug and plug the white side into a TV audio input jack (either the white or red input jack) you will then have sound thru the TV. Caution - keep the mic away from the TV.

Probably. Most computer sound cards have stereo capability. The cable will maintain the stereo separation. Two possible problems: do your mics require phantom power? The computer will not provide it. Is your computer mic input sensitive enough for the mics you want to use?

My PC is still Windows 7 so, I am not sure. The installation instructions specifically target XP, Vista, Windows7, and MAC OSX. The Mic uses universal drivers so it should work. The drivers load automatically when you plug in the USB cable. My warranty card has a customer service number should you have any questions about compatibility. Call them at: (631) 784 - 2200. Hope this helps.

With this microphone, you will need an audio interface to enable a hook-up to your computer. The audio interface, like a USB mixer, will enable you to plug in the XLR connector from the mic into the mixer and then output the signal to your computer via a USB cable. I would suggest purchasing a USB microphone which will plug directly into your laptop or desktop. The Blue USB microphone was on sale at Amazon for $50 a few days ago. The AT-2020 is also a good choice. You'll then need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in order to edit, enhance, save your work. There are free DAWs like Audacity and others that you can purchase. I narrate books for Audible.com and used the AT2020 for narrating a number of books with good results. There are better choices for a dynamic microphone than this PG48. I purchased this mic earlier this year and found it to be very "tinny"--not full bodied. I returned the mic for a refund.

it has a mic. you will probably need a sound card. Most computers now come with them.

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.

No. Yes the mic is fine. I don't know but the quality is low, and this model is outdated. It should work with almost all computers.

Will this work if my current laptop sound card no longer works? - Yes, but you have to plug in separate speakers. It won't be able to run your laptop speakers unless you hack the laptop I think.In other words, does it rely on the current audio card, or is it independent? - It's independent.

Yes I have it connected into a PC at work and we use it for meetings. Works fine with the PC speakers.

I have not tried either, yet I believe it works as a general mike. Since I use it for a vocal disability, it should work fine, yet I am unable to use it on Skype, Rosseta, Dragon, or other Application Programs, but only because my disability.

Yes, if you plug it into the microphone jack in the computer. (Not the speaker jack). Make sure you have that on your PC.

You need to use a usb bluetooth adapter on the computer, but yes you can use it as a voip speakerphone on the computer. Be aware that the sound quality is okay, the same as on a cell phone.

It should work with any PC that has a standard headphone/speaker out port. It does not come with a microphone but you can buy the peripheral here. http://amzn.com/B00BJ17WKK

no, you will need a sound card regardless to play sound on your computer ..... speakers of any kind only work with a soundcard installed.

I have no idea what the output/channel is. It's made for tablets so it's no screamer, but it has ample volume for multiple listeners. It connects with USB and if required for your device, an audio connector also (some devices will port the audio through the USB cable), so it should work with a desktop. I still like this little speaker system. It's very much better than my tablet's built-in speakers.

It plugged into my laptop, and I used it for meeting/video chat for class, and it worked fine. Not sure about desktop, sorry.
