Hello! I have a Corsair HS35 and I messed up. I have a mic/audio splitter to well, split the audio and microphone signals and I plugged in the mic into the audio port. Now the mic output is very quiet. Did I just destroy the small elektret mic? Will I have any problems if I just replace it with a similar one?

I mean, theoretically it could but I've never heard of it happening and getting quiet would not be the major symptom of this. If you think you have, however, destroyed the electret element there should be no problem with swapping it for another element of the same rating.
