Using windows 7 with Adobe 9 Premiere I cant seem to get any audio on a prodject I
come to a stop with a screen message your current audio selection does not have any
input channels please use preference audio hardware to correct
So went to pc world and they sold me an (microsoft Lx 3000 mic) which should do the job as mine was an old mic but it doesn't Do I need a mic that will plug into the circular socket mark up for mics only pc world said it doesn't make any difference

the age of the mic is pretty irelevant, usually you just plug it into the either the "line in" input or the dedicated "mic" input
line in socket is usually colour coded light blue and mic is usually pink.

If the mic isnt automatically picked up as an input source by adobe or anything else for that matter, then you probably need to go into the mixer recordingdevice section of your sound card and select the mic.
Depending on what sound card and what system you have, you can usually access the recording devices mixer by right clicking on the loudspeaker icon in the right hand corner of your screen.

Or you may need to go into control panel > sounds and do it there.

Havent used Premiere in a while but It would seem that Premiere is giving you the choice of selecting it from the preferences audio hardware dialogue

I didnt realise it was a USB mic.
Then put it in a USB port and the same applies.
Drivers will load automatically in most cases, then as for a standard mic just select it the same way as any other mic
