Windows 10: Yeti Microphone and Audio issues

I have just bought a new microphone a yeti and I am started having weird problems the day of installing and using it. I have plugged my microphone into my PC using the usb port, and the mic works fine I can talk into it and people can hear me. The issue I am having is when I try to play music, watch youtube, or anything that plays audio it will pause, unpause on its own. It also sometimes will not let me unpause it to start playing the audio again. I am almost certain it is the mic because I have tried unplugging the mic and the issue stopped. Another weird problem I am having is the mic seems

Blue Yeti Microphone not working

Hi JawadFromFrance,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you to work on this issue. I understand that you are unable to connect Blue yeti Microphone to the computer.



As per the Error Code 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems, we will need to reinstall the driver for the device again. For more information see,

Error codes in Device Manager in Windows.



However, as you have already tried uninstalling the device from Device Manager, I would suggest you to check if the device works in any other Window computer.



You may want to check the Blue Yeti website for drivers and see if there are drivers available for the particular model.



As you have mentioned that the Microphone is not working in Mac as well, I suspect it could be an issue with the Microphone. The best point of contact would be the

Blue Yeti support.

Blue Yeti Microphone not detected by Windows 10!

Just recently, I decided that I wanted to make a YouTube channel, and post videos of commentaries and such. I had been working

with my headset that had a mic already, which was a Razer Kraken, but I wanted to upgrade because of how annoying the actual mic was, and I was not satisfied with the quality of the microphone. I already submitted a ticket to Blue Microphones support, but
wanted to see if I could find a solution faster, rather than waiting "48 hours" for a response. I bought the Blue Yeti microphone off of eBay, but it was brand new.

The seller had only used it once, and he had a good amount of sales with positive feedback, so I went ahead and bought it. It worked absolutely perfectly for about a month or so, until I updated my Windows. After updating my windows, I went to plug
in my Blue Yeti, and there was no sound indication that a device was plugged in, nor was there a notification. I thought that that was strange, so I double
checked to make sure the Yeti was getting power, which it was and still does.

After looking around in the audio settings, I found that my microphone was not even being detected. It was
not showing as a

generic audio device, a disconnected audio device, or even a disabled audio device. The same was for the recording section. I have spent weeks looking for a solution to this, and to my dismay I have not found one. I tried
following multiple steps from other posts on multiple different forums, one being from here, and none of the troubleshooting steps worked. Either,
A) There was something different for me than what was supposed to show, or
B) There was nothing at all. Please, I could really use some help in resolving this issue, and I am extremely frustrated, as for almost an entire month now I have not been able to upload. I also discovered that my Razer headset's microphone
does not work anymore, or at least correctly anyway.



If any extra details are needed, just let me know and I will try my best to provide them.

EDIT: I tried changing usb ports (2.0 to 3.0, vice versa) and that did not help or change anything at all. My cables are not the issue either, as they do not grow how or show any signs of damage/wear. (Mini USB) It came with the microphone, and
it was the one that the company Blue Yeti had included in the box.

 

Microphone issues

Hi Michael,

Here are the possible reasons why you're getting an error "The microphone did not pick anything up" when using it:

• Incorrect settings (microphone is not set as default device)
  
• Corrupted or outdated driver
  
• Faulty device
  

For us to isolate the issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to this issue(e.g. Windows updates)?
  
• Have you tried connecting other microphone to your computer?
  
• Have you tried connecting the microphone to the other computer?
  

In the meantime, we suggest running the Recording Audio Troubleshooter to find and repair problems with recording sound. We also suggest checking if your microphone is set as your default recording device. For troubleshooting steps, please see
Geethu B's on this
link.

We're looking forward to your reply.
