Windows 10: Blue Snowball Microphone not working on Windows 10 computer.

My Blue Snowball Microphone has not worked on my Windows 10 system. I have searched and tried most methods (Change Privacy, Uninstall and Reinstall, Change properties, ect.) and none of them have worked for me. I would really like help for this problem as I do not want my money to go towards a piece of hardware that does not work. Please get back to me when you can.

Blue Snowball USB Microphone doesn't work after upgrading to Win10

Since the error persist when trying to use the microphone on a different device and a different microphone work correctly on your computer, we suggest that you refer to the Blue Snowball microphone manufacturer to assist you better.

For further queries, feel free to post back.

Thank you.

 

Blue Snowball microphone not working

My Blue Snowball microphone has stopped working, after I have done nothing. I have restarted my computer several times, disabled and enabled my microphone twice, and nothing has worked. The privacy option for "allow apps to use microphone" is on, but none
of any of my applications pick it up. It is only about one month old, and there is no damage to it at all. The red light on the top of the microphone is turned on when it is plugged in, but, y'know, doesn't do anything. Please help, I used this microphone
a lot, and don't want to have to throw it away.

EDIT: Found a troubleshooting option in settings, and something, somewhere, was muted. Problem is fixed now.

 

Blue Snowball USB Microphone doesn't work after upgrading to Win10

I had this same problem tonight using a Blue Snowball I bought about 4 years ago. I hadn't used the PC for recording since I upgraded to Windows 10 but tonight I was using Audacity to record something and it would not recognize the Snowball. In the device
manager it showed the Snowball driver and an error message underneath.

Maybe the Force is with me tonight, but I simply uninstalled the driver, unplugged the Snowball, refreshed and plugged it back in. Same error message. Went through those steps one more time and it loaded without the error message and is recording just fine.

Now under Audacity it used to say "Snowball" in the recording device where now it says "Microphone (2 - USB Audio Class). But whatever, it's working and I didn't even have to kick the tower.
