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.
