Windows 10: Blue Snowball iCE microphone not registering

I have a Blue Snowball iCE mic (a plug and play microphone) that worked fine unti I unplugged it to move my laptop. I plugged it back in and windows didn't notice. The light's off, it doesn't show up in the list of recording devices, and I can't find the driver in Device Manager.


I have tried:

1. Uninstalling the "USB Composite Device" drivers in Device Manager and re-connecting the device.
2. Using Device Manager to search for updated drivers on said devices listed
3. Setting Privacy settings to allow apps to access my microphone
4. Device troubleshooter, hardware troubleshooter, recording troubleshooter, sound troubleshooter (basically every troubleshooter I could find)

I've been googling for days and none of the solutions I've found have worked. Can anyone help me?

Why does Cortana shut down as soon as I speak to her? I have Windows 10 and a Blue Snowball Ice microphone.

Blue Snowball iCE Microphone (older model) not working with the system

I bought a Blue Snowball microphone off my friend last week, I had confirmed that the device worked before the transaction.

It worked the first time I plugged it into my PC, but after I reboot my PC it stopped working.

The cable is not the issue: I tested the cable on another device. The microphone is not the issue: I tested it on another device. The USB (2.0) port is not the issue: I tested it with a memory pen and I got expected data transfer results.

I have uninstalled the drivers, removed the device, reboot the machine, log in and plug in the microphone and waited for the drivers to install from Windows Update. The microphone will still interface with the system: if I right click the volume icon, go
to sounds, recording, click "Blue Snowball", clicked Properties, click listen, checked "Listen to this device" and I could hear the input come out through the speaker. Clearly, the hardware is not the issue here. I then went over to audacity, activated the
Blue Snowball in the drop down list and clicked "Monitor" and there was no input. I clicked record and got an "Error opening this sound device" message.

Any advice on how to fix this, bar completely reinstalling the system which I am not prepared to do.
