SingStar microphones are made for the SingStar games for Playstation systems. But the microphones have a USB connection, which also allows them to work on a computer with USB capabilities. If you already own a SingStar microphone, you can use it to record audio on your computer.

Don't use the USB connector thingie, just stick the red or blue plug straight into your microphone connector. Voila.
(Though if anybody has working drivers for the USB connector, hence stereo input, please..)

Nah, in the same way you can plug any old set of speakers into your pc's speaker port, you can plug any old mic into the mic in and it'll work.
USB Might be worth a try though? Not sure who makes the singstar headset, but I plugged my logitech usb headset into a winxp machine and it recognised it straight away, and the sound quality is amazing - use it for voice chat all the time.

nope nothing.. although in the tuning wizard thing the bard that says that it can hear something was flashing everynow and then, it stayed near the bottom but it kept on flashing even when the mic was unplugged. weird!

Sorry, don't think I can be of any more help since I've never seen one in the flesh. Not sure why it has a standard mic output as well as usb.
All I can say is, if that really is a standard mic output (and if it plugs in, what else would it be really) it should work. Might just take a bit of fiddling with unmuting things and adjusting levels, I often manage to forget one setting that stops it from working.
Good luck with it, and hopefully someone who knows more about it will come along.

It's a bog-standard microphone jack. Works absolutely fine on the PC. Of course it's an unpowered microphone so you'll need to turn the microphone boost on in the control panel (specific to your soundcard, sorry - hunt for it yourself).
The inputs you describe makes it sound like you've got things plugged into the wrong ports, I fear

try plugging a mic connector into a ps2 and youlll find a shortage of holes to insert it into
i used mine to record onto my portable mp3 player using the mic input so it seems to be a standard microhone so should work on a pc

Shinji's spot on. Bring up volume control (in the Sounds thingie), click on microphone advanced and select mic boost. It DOES work fine, hence the tiny burbling you're getting at the moment.

I realise that. I was under the impression that it had both usb and normal mic connections, and I wondered why it needed them both.
I think I've gathered now that it's just got the standard mic cable.

You could. But then I'd have to dismantle your respiratory system. Slowly. With a pair of rusty bolt-cutters.
I'll buy you a headset, they're cheap as fuck. 25p from Lidl.
