[SOLVED] Using an USB microphone with no grounding?

[Fropsy]

Hello. I've bought a new USB condenser microphone (Trust GXT 242 Lance streaming) and it had alot of buzzing, couldnt hear anything over it. It worked fine when i was touching the metal part of the microphone at the bottom. Figured it was a grounding issue and found out that my whole apartment is not grounded. My previous headset microphone (Plantronics RIG 500e) worked just fine. I'm using a *gaming* notebook and live in EU. Any solutions?

maybe get your apartment grounded?

I can't do that. Does this also mean i can't use any external microphones?

try some surge protectors or UPS units, they could help with grounding issues
