This (ahem) sounds fantastic.
I’m currently doing VC off an iPad while sat in front of my Linux workstation.
The workstation has no microphone. What kind of mic could I get for it, to migrate all my VC to the workstation?
- jeffbee 6y agoUSB microphones (that integrate the mic preamp and the A/D converter into one unit) are now very common. You just plug them in. In my experience they take zero effort to use with ubuntu or chromeos.
- Cu3PO42 6y agoMany audio interfaces also work just fine with Linux OOTB despite there being no official support. While for microphones (and other audio equipment) there's almost no limit to how expensive you can go, any halfway decent USB microphone should probably be good enough that you're bottlenecked by the application's codec/bitrate. If you were willing to splurge a bit, you might look at the likes of the Blue Yeti, Rode NT-USB, AKG Lyra, Audio Technica AT2020 USB, or even Shure MV7 which range between $150 and $300.
- anotheryou 6y agoWhy not a headset? Certainly no Bluetooth headset though, sound quality is bad on linux as of now. If you don't have meetings all day I can recommend the Logitech H800. Build quality and comfort are meh, but: It's small, you can use a wireless dongle with linux, switch easily between computer and phone by turning it to bluetooth on the headset and sound is decent.
