infinitymdm All electret microphones take a voltage on them to work hence the name
so if this voltage is low or incorrect they dont work properly.
I was watching a youtube video with your headphones and dac/amp and the mic sound the guy had was not
impressive (weak and noisy) have you used the headphone dac/amp setup before on anything else with
success.
They are wired with a cap resistor setup the cap blocks the voltage from equipment but makes the difference on audio quality ,the resistor feeds the op voltage to mic.
Under voltage makes mic sound clear but weak and overvoltage sends stuff into saturation making noise
and weak audio.
This is more along the lines of analog stuff throw in digital proc and it gets complicated.
My guess the laptop setup is more matched properly is why it works.
I use to and have wired tons of communications headsets up to stuff.
Zmaint was right to ask his question electret microphones are not hardy animals they tend to fail
easily.
Am done rambling.
