I agree 

all of my mics are XLR 

I think the card should be XLR

or balanced with 1/4 that will work balanced or unbalanced  

balanced for XLR with no noise  

or unbalanced with cpu noise for cheap setups  

1/4 and XLR are the industrial standards 

good mikes are XLR and if I use a balanced to unbalanced

converter the unbalanced side is 1/4 

only toys are 1/8 any half quality mic will use 1/4 

and any quality or real mic will use the XLR balanced system 

to pervent any noise like the cpu noise you hear out of the gs 

by balanced it any pluse will be on both sides and will cancel out 

unbalanced you only have one side so a pluse will be heard
