Oh I remember those, sound quality was horribly bad.

I had one of these from my first Creative SoundBlaster... i forget which model. But basically it worked so well I used it for 15+ years. I sounded better than most. Half of analog mics was just proper mic boost configuration, the other half was having a system that wasn't rife with noise. It didn't matter how good the mic or soundcard was if the mobo was noisy AF.

You also needed to know where to hook up your wires! I found that nearby plugs tend to interfere with audio input A LOT. In my case I had multiple audio jacks so it was preferred to use the one where I'd usually plug nothing in nearby!
