Lizlambert - Webcaster Setup

For the most part, I alternated between two computers and experimented with different headsets and a desktop mic.  This is the order in which I began:

USB Desktop Mic (AK5370)/Logitech Behind the Head Headset (separate jacks for mic and earpiece) plugged into USB port on the computer.

Remove the earphone jack from the headset and plug it into the standard speaker jack.
