Toot

Hello #Audio Fedi! I would like some sort of volume control for my headset - at the moment, I have to use the OS volume mixer, which is fine but not always suitable.

I need something with 3.5mm input / output, and I also need to be able to connect my mic to it. Separate volume controls for each would be great, but just being able to control the output audio (with the mic staying the same) would be fine too.

Suggestions welcome! (If I can get it second-hand for cheap, even better!)

I'm not sure I've explained myself super well there, so I'm happy to clarify!

I initially thought an audio mixer would work, but I don't know how that'd handle the 3.5mm mic input - possibly I can convert it to XLR? Is that a thing?

I also thought a nice audio interface, but I don't know if I'd be able to hear my PC's audio output, which would defeat the point a little bit.

After a bit of research, I think I've decided on this one. Seems to work with Linux, supports two mics which will be valuable for future video endeavours, AND... it looks super cool!

There are plenty of eBay listings for it too, so hopefully I can get a bargain.

@lunarloony I have this (the 76 version, but still) and I quite like it!
