Otherwise,no signal at all?Or too quiet?Or too low quality?And in wich input do I plug the mic?

The signal from the mic is very weak. Most consumer cards (like the Audigy) have a microphone input that has a mic preamp, however the EMU doesn't. Without a preamp you'll really have to crank the volume to get any sound from the mic, and it'll probably pretty low quality that way. If you do want to run the mic straight to the EMU you'd plug it into the inputs with a mini->dual mono 1/4" adapter.

I'd recommend using on-board audio (if you have it) for MIC, or buying a USB microphone.
