The reason I asked if your microphone would work with the other software is it gives you a selling opportunity to sell microphones to people who like this discussion need a microphone. but we would have to see that it actually does work with the other software as you commented the various software processes things differently so that might not work.
Then for the Chinese microphone I measured the voltages today. So for the 1000 the internal analog circuitry is being run at basically + and -6
it's not really the end of the world for this as they make inexpensive switching regulator modules. Then I've ordered another USB module to power this and try it anyway off the 5 volts. I found one that's nice and quiet with a bonus feature of on the backside of the circuit board square solder pads for the power connections.
Then what I find interesting is if you find a part made by multiple of manufacturers a lot of times you find that the specifications aren't always exactly the same for
