That depends on what is wrong with it. In some cases, the hardware itself can fail, in which case it's just toast. However, the driver software can become corrupted or be lost (if a new operating system is installed) so it would be worth checking that. There are a variety of ways to do this, but if you are using Mac or Linux, I can't help you.
If you are using Windows, open the Device Manager (Right-click on My Computer and select "Manage", then find "Devices" or "Device Manager" in the lefthand bar) and find your microphone. Check to see if it is properly recognized, and if not, right click on it and select "Update driver." You can also try scanning with 3rd party software.Driver Booster is a good free option, or you can try Driver magician, though you'll need to do a web search and download the actual install package yourself, unless you buy the program. Run checks with one or both programs, and see if you can update the driver. If not, Open control panel and go to "Programs and features" (or "Add/Remove Programs, on older systems) and try to find the driver. You will need to select the option to show all updates. Uninstall that driver (though you should first make a system restore point), and then try the previous steps again. Note: Do not update drivers for things that are already working. That can break things.

How do you get a desktop mic to work on a single port computer?

So i recently got a new mic and i want to record but my computer only has one audio in and out port (It takes microphone and Headphones in the same port) but the mic was not built for this (it has two black rings if that helps). I have tried everything that i could think of.
