Ah okay. You know I've heard these kinda stories. I can't be of much help no more as I don't use USB mikes. I do use a DM420 as an external 24 bit 96 KHZ sound card sometimes though. But for a mike I use an AT8022.

Well, she tells me that when she uses a wireless mic, there's hardly no hum at all. However, when she uses one of those USB headsets with a microphone and a cord on the end, the hum is a lot louder. That's why I wasn't sure if had something to do with the sound card or if it was electrical? I hope that made sense.
