Does anyone here know anything about USB audio interfaces?

I want to use a cheep contact mic that's hooked up to my PC,
But all I know about the process is that the quality is below trash if I use it with a 6.5mm to 3.5mm jack converter,
And that an USB audio interface is the way to go?
And something something pre-amp and hi-z?

Yeah, I'm n00b n00b at did 😬

I just want something cheep to tinker with...
In case I decide that this isn't for me, they I ain't lost much

Do you already have the contact mic?

Or do you have nothing?

What plug in jacks do you have available?

PS: I know nothing 😅

I just Google cheap headset with mic

I've had mixed reactions with mics period

@Fishy Yeah, I've had much better luck with USB than those plug ins for mics

I think speakers I've had good luck with both, but not with mics
