Won't somebody think of the starving hamsters in China?



USB Microphones are their own, separate, (generally) input only soundcards. Selecting them as an input source will generally be done in the software you record in. Any other soundcards in your system don't need to be aware of it or interact with it. No inputs will need to be spoofed as long as the software you're using allows you to select different input and output devices, which generally will be the case. You're not mentioning it, but I'm assuming you're trying all this on a Windows PC.

The usb connections indeed delivers audio to the pc, as well as powering the mic.

As for usb female to 3.5mm aux cord adapters, if they exist, which I doubt, would be a terribly hacky workaround for you to use the wrong type of microphone in all sorts of ways that nature never intended.

So maybe start at the beginning and tell us in what sort of setup you're trying to use it, with what software, to achieve what sort of end goals and what part of it isn't working the way you want it to.


Also, audio stuff generally goes here, but for recording purposes the question would have been appropriate in the Musician's Lounge as well, maybe even more so.
