   Normally communication mics have a limited HF response tailored to only the
essential frequencies, (limited sideband width on SSB and FM) a computer mic
would be not limited in that manor and HF noise and extended sidebands and
possibly distorted high frequencies would result.  (who would know you don't
sound that way?)  Most computer mics need a dc Voltage to operate, obtained
from the input of the sound card.
