Blue Yeti Microphone does not work

Today, I got a Blue Yeti microphone.  It is said that it is plugged in and when I plug my headphones into the microphone I can hear me through it.  But, every time I try to record a video with it then mic are resumed. It is defined as default device and I reinstalled the driver, still with no luck.  In addition, whenever I try to go in the menu that appears the recording devices, it freezes and I have to go in my task manager to close it.  Help, please!

  • Internal microphone does not work do not on HP Pavilion dv2608ca.

    I have a dv2608ca HP Pavillion age of 4 years. The microphone has worked for the last 3 years and about 6 months ago, it stopped working. Any time, I record something using the recorder on my laptop, I hear two sounds dull (as if someone was tapping on the microphone with a finger) and then silence. I took it to my local Best Buy for repair. They ended up wiping my own hard drive and then reinstalling Windows Vista. This fixed the problem for a day, and now the microphone does not work yet. I do not anything to the system between the time wherever I came back from Best Buy and 24 hours later when they have stopped working. I tried to check the microphone with Windows recorder and there is no indication that a sound is detected (green bar does not move). No sound is detected with Skype or msn messenger. I tried right clicking the speaker down icon to the right of the screen and check the level of the microphone and making sure that nothing is cut. I tried to go to Panel following the instructions for the Device Manager and cntrl (updating the driver for the result Conexant High Definition Audio.: "driver is already updated"). Please, I beg you! Help? Thank you!

    Thank you for your response. I read the links you provided and knew that I've tried all these steps already. Fortunately, in browing HP Web site, I found a feature that helps you identify the driver for your specific model updates. From this page:

    I clicked on the audio driver and instead of updating my driver, I thought to upgrade to the previous driver. And it worked! I clicked on "Previous Versions".
    Problem solved! It is important that when using this Web site, the correct model of the HP product is identified so that appropriate support can be provided. And I guess I learned that the upgrade is not always the option of sound with my operating system Vista and HP laptop computer!

    What should I do?

    Thank you

    Hi yassena,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

    I suggest you all to first download and install Windows 7 driver compatibility.  Check your drivers in the Windows 7 Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx to check if your audio drivers for hp dv6000 are compatible.

    The drivers for your hp dv6000 seem not to be compatible with Windows 7 and this is why I suggest you to download the Windows Vista Compatible drivers from: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=1842155 and running Windows Vista compatibility mode.

    You can also try to adjust the default microphone and check under the sounds in the recording tab.

    It seems that the microphone is not properly configured on your computer. You can try to solve the problems more microphone/line-in following the steps, in order, to test, check the connections and the hardware, update the audio drivers and configure the audio settings of Windows. If you follow these steps in the correct order, you will fix the problem or you will find that the audio software must be configured or updated.

    Step 1: Test of an audio signal

    1. click on start, then Control Panel.
    2. click on hardware and sound and then click on manage audio devices...
    3. click on the recording tab.
    4. to test the microphone, speak into it. To test the line, send a signal to the line at the port of devices audio source (press play on the audio player). Look at the gray bars next to the name of the device under the recording tab:
    * If the gray bars next to the device name turns green, this device is active and an audio signal is passed through the microphone or line-in port. This step shows that this problem is related to sound parameters in the software that uses the microphone. If you have not already done so, set the device selected by default and adjust levels. Once the device is set by default and levels are defined, use and adjust the sound recording or voice carrying software.
    * If the gray bars remain inactive and grey, the device does not have a signal. Leave the record open tab and go to the next step.

    Step 2: Check the volume levels and mute

    The volume of the speaker to the microphone and line - in may be activated or rejected. Use the following steps to check the volume of speaker for line and microphone levels.

    * If an update is available, let Windows install the update.
    * If an update is not available, proceed to the next step.
    7. once the update is successfully installed, test the microphone or line like that was made in step 1. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.

    Step 4: Configuration of Windows registry settings

    By default, Windows 7/Vista automatically activates microphones and line - in ports. Use the following steps to set the microphone/line-in port to be the default port and configure the logging levels.

    3. once the selected device, click Properties, and then click the levels tab.
    4. adjust the slider up to 75% of its range.
    5. If the mute is enabled, click the button mute to reactivate the device. The mute button should show as a blue speaker without any red circle.
    6. If the Microphone Boost is available, adjust and + 20.0 dB.
    7. click OK to make the changes.
    8. test the microphone as was done in step 1 to determine if Windows is able to detect a signal from the microphone or line used. If you have completed all the steps and the microphone or the source device still does not work, the audio ports or the computer's sound hardware can be bad.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see from your post, some applications have a problem to access your Microphone. I know how it is important to ensure that your applications have access to the Microphone and can use this feature. I have a few things I want to try.

    First, tap Settings on your iPhone and then scroll to the last section that lists your apps. Select the applications that use the microphone and make sure that the Microphone is activated (green).

    Then, follow the steps in the article below to close these applications:

    Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Then, test the microphone in these applications again and see if it works.

    Best regards.

  • iPhone 5 s microphone does not work during phone call

    Hello! My iphone 5s works really well, sensors, speaker, camera, all right. Similarly, the microphone works really well when I make a call using 'whassapp', 'line', etc and I can record video, talking to Siri, using voice memo and once more my microphone works really well. BUT! When I make call and receive phone call my microphone does not work, they do not hear my voice at all. What will happen with my microphone when you use the cell phone call? HELP ME PLEASE!

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device.

    Are you trying to test also with Skype? Did you check the sound options?

    Hello

    The internal MIC is part of the webcam module.
    What happens if you start the webcam, try saving and small clip? The sound recording is this too?

    Usually, you can change the recording devices in Control Panel-> sound-> recording tab
    Here, you can check what devices are available. Right click and check if hidden and disabled devices can be demonstrated.

    By the way: I had some problems with the playback of the sound after installing the Realtek audio driver. I uninstalled the Realtek audio driver and Device Manager remove the audio display Intel (in games, field audio video controller). In the peripheral zone system you could remove the controller high definition audio.
    Again, restart the laptop.

    Usually, removing devices should be recognized automatically. Then go again to the dashboard-> sound-> recording tab and check if other devices outside external microphone are available.

    What Miss me? Please notify.

    Model: L50-B916
    Screenshot: http://s12.postimg.org/j8h3v5k4d/laptop.jpg

    I can't say with certainty what may be wrong here, but two things confuse me:
    -somehow your external MIC is obviously not detected because in the case when the external microphone is connected laptop switches automatically to it
    -I don't understand why there are two identical entries under recording devices.

    When I connect my headphone it is always a single entry (Conexant SmartAudio HD default unit), but my machine automatically goes to the external microphone only.

    Have you tested the feature with some applications like Skype?
