Windows 10: Blue snowball not working with windows.

So, recently my blue snowball just stopped working. The previous cable didn't work, so I bought a new one, and this cable seems to work. The red light comes on, but it isn't recognized by windows. It just doesn't come up in the device menu for some reason.

Blue Snowball iCE Microphone not working

Hi all,

I just got a Blue Snowball iCE and it is not working. I followed all published help document around the web and still no luck.

I have:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver
• Tried different USB Ports
• Making sure my Microphone Privacy Settings were set to on
• Trying it on another Windows 10 Computer and following all of the above

I think its broke but I am reaching out to the community to see if there is anything else I can do to get it to work.

Any Suggestions on how to get it to work?

I am running Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134. If more info is needed let me know.

Thanks,

Joshuah

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.
