Microphone sound on the PC constantly choppy?

The built-in microphone on my notebook is bad anyway, so I bought a headset.
The sound is better with it, but my words are swallowed up again and again. No matter which headset or headphones I try.

I thought about buying a microphone (e.g. RODE) [instead of a headset]. However, I think it will still be choppy.
I found external "sound cards" on Amazon (10-20 euro, see picture) and wonder,

If I connect a Mirko to an interface and then connect it to this "sound card" / adapter with my PC, the problem should actually be resolved.
Since the problem [I think] is with my laptop's sound card - right?

Yes, this is due to the sound card, but you can replace it (good ones cost 10 chf)

Isn't it usually built into the laptop?

If the error is actually in the sound card, then the error would really be eliminated.

However, if the error is due to excessive CPU load (actually occurs under load), then the laptop is probably simply too old.

So it can't be because of that. But my real question was whether the constellation would work: "If I connect a Mirko to an interface and then connect it to this" sound card "/ adapter with my PC"

or whether you should buy such an external card

The external USB sound cards could be better than an integrated sound card.

But I can't really tell you whether this card is better there.

Which interface is meant here exactly?
One of those here?

Then this should work, as you can see the sound card has an input for your mic or an output for your headset.

OK thank you.

PS: The interfaces won't differ that much, but I had thought of one: https://www.amazon.de/...005EHILV4/

Doesn't it already have a USB connection to the PC and could it serve as its own sound card? Just asked stupidly.

Built-in stereo USB / audio interface to connect directly to your computer

Mi

That may well be, so would the external sound card be overdue?

Ra

If you can connect the interface directly to the PC via USB and select a sound input or output, then you don't need an extra sound card, exactly.

At least that's how I read it from the description.

Mi

Thank you for your help.

Ra

With pleasure.
But as I said.
The answer is a bit of the assumption that your fault is actually there and that I understood the description of the interface correctly.
