Hi Kevin,

I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

Follow the Methods below and check if that helps.

Method 1: Connect Blue Yeti to your computer and Run
the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter and check.

Hardware and Devices troubleshooter checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

• Right click on the start menu and select control panel.
• In the category select small icons.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Select View all on the top left corner.
• Click on Hardware and Devices.

Micrsoft Orbs

Orb for Windows - I would like to suggest something that I think everyone would like. They are called Orbs. Each Orb either on the Desktop on the Taskbar could be filled with any type of file or Shortcut. The goal however is create a more compact display
for filing systems. For example you have an Orb called Family Photos. You roll over the Orb and it begins spinning on its axis and grows larger showing you all of the files that are contained within the Orb. You then come to a polygon on the Orb that is labeled
Family Photos 2015. You click on the Polygon and you are taken inside of the Orb to view the photos. By moving your mouse or your finger on the laptop mouse pad controls the actual spin direction of the Orb. Once you stop spinning the Orb for five seconds
it reduces in size leaving the files that your selected on the Desktop. Once you are finished and click Close the files reduce to a smaller Orb and return to the main Orb. No more needing to create a hierarchy of folders that takes countless ticks to finally
get to the layer that you want. With Orb you spin the Orb to see what inside the Orb and then click. Orb would also be very helpful on the taskbar where you could pin an Orb that would have programs for game development that might include several graphic editing
program Shortcuts and the actually gaming engine that you are using instead of taking up more space on the Taskbar. You can of course choose how your Orb operates as well such as when you select it the Orb could unfold equal to the number of polygons that
are used on the Orb to create a flat projection that would then reassemble back into the Orb once Close is clicked. Or you could simply turn Orb off and use the old filing system of folders. The Orb could also come in Cube Form as well.

 

Yeti Mouse has stopped being detected by everything except ghub software

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It seems like you've already tried several troubleshooting steps to fix the issue with your Yeti microphone. Since the microphone is still detected by the Ghub software, but not by other applications, it indicates that the issue might be related to software settings or configurations rather than a hardware problem. Here are some additional steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Check Privacy Settings:
   
   • Open the Windows Settings (Windows key + I) and go to "Privacy."
     
   • Under "Microphone," make sure that "Allow apps to access your microphone" is turned on. Also, check if the apps you want to use the microphone with are listed and allowed to access the microphone.
     
2. Update Audio Drivers:
   
   • Go to Device Manager (right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager".
     
   • Expand the "Audio inputs and outputs" section, right-click on your Yeti microphone, and select "Update driver."
     
   • Choose "Search automatically for updated driver software" and let Windows search for and install any available updates.
     
3. Disable Exclusive Mode:
   
   • Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Open Sound settings."
     
   • Scroll down and click on "Sound Control Panel" under "Related Settings."
     
   • In the Sound window, go to the "Recording" tab, right-click on your Yeti microphone, and select "Properties."
     
   • Go to the "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device." Click "Apply" and then "OK."
     
4. Check Communication Settings:
   
   • Sometimes, Windows communication settings might interfere with the microphone. Go to Windows Settings > System > Sound.
     
   • Under "Sound Control Panel," go to the "Communications" tab, and select "Do nothing."
     
5. Test with Different Apps:
   
   • Try using your Yeti microphone with different applications, to see if the issue is specific to certain apps or if it persists across all applications.
     
6. Disable Other Audio Devices:
   
   • Temporarily disable other audio input devices in the Sound settings to see if they might be conflicting with the Yeti microphone.
     
7. Reinstall Ghub:
   
   • Even though you've uninstalled Ghub before, it's worth trying to reinstall it again, as it might help refresh the settings.
     
8. Test in Safe Mode:
   
   • Boot your computer into Safe Mode and check if the microphone works there. This will help determine if any third-party software is causing the issue.
     

If the issue persists after trying these steps, it might be helpful to reach out to Logitech support or visit their community forums to see if others have experienced a similar problem and found a solution. Also, ensure that your Windows and Ghub software are up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, a future update might address compatibility or performance issues.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
