BM-800 Mic recognized as "USB pnp Sound Device"

I've seen multiple people ask this question on here but have not gotten a clear answer so here goes.

I have a BM-800 Condenser Mic. I can plug it in through 3.5 mm jack, and it works and I can adjust the levels and enhancements and such and it's perfect. Except for the quality. It's awful. So, I try to plug in through USB and use the soundcard. It becomes
so quiet it can't even really pick up my voice and the options for mic boost and enhancements disappear and it becomes recognized as a USB pnp Sound Device. A generic one. I have a soundcard and a seperate power supply to it. It's not the mic's bad quality
either, it's because it's recognized as a USB pnp Sound Device. How do I make it be recognized as a regular microphone?

I am using Windows 10.

I have reinstalled the mic's drivers.

 

How to easily test microphones in windows 10?

Right click on the volume button down the bottom right of your taskbar and go to properties, go to the recording tab to see if you're microphone is there.

If it is there, click on it and see if you can set it to "default"

Check camtasia studios settings to make sure your mic is the default mic




To test if your Mic is working outside of Camtasia Studio.

1.) Hit Start

2.) Search for Voice Recorder ,

3.) Open the application and click on the microphone to start recording, when you stop the recording you can right click on the file and go to "file location" to open it and play it back.

This will determine if your mic is working, if not i would suggest looking for the latest drivers for your microphone.
