The reason behind this issue is that Windows will recognize the Blue Yeti microphone with another name. So, yes, technically your microphone is being recognized but it isn’t showing up with the exact name i.e. Blue Yeti microphone. For people who are experiencing issues with the working of this microphone, it is mainly because of the settings problems that can easily be adjusted from sound recording settings.
Do you need the drivers for Blue Yeti?
If you are looking to download Blue Yeti drivers then you should stop looking. Blue Yeti doesn’t have any drivers and it works with the regular built-in audio drivers of Windows (or any other machine you are using). It is basically a plug and play device. So, that is why you won’t find any drivers and you shouldn’t waste your time in looking for drivers.
Method 1: Check Microphone in Devices and Printers
The first step is to check whether your microphone is recognized or not. If you are seeing the microphone in Other devices then you can skip this section. Basically, Windows will recognize the microphone with a specific name, other than the Blue Yeti, and you can check that from the Devices and Printers section.
So, if you are wondering why the microphone isn’t showing up then this is the reason. If you want to change the name of the device then you can try the steps given below.
You should be good to go and your device should be showing up as the name you entered.
Method 2: Fix Blue Yeti Volume
This method for people who are experiencing issues with the Blue Yeti recording or the level of sound. If you aren’t hearing anything from the microphone or the recording audio is very low then follow the steps given below to fix that issue.
You should be able to use the microphone once your Blue Yeti is set to the default recording device. If you still can’t record anything from the microphone then follow the steps given below
Method 3: Change USB port
If you are still experiencing the issue then the problem might be with the USB port that you are using. The Blue Yeti will not work on USB 3.0 ports. So, connect the Blue Yeti with a USB 2.0 and check if that works. If you don’t know which USB port is 2.0 or 3.0 then check your computer’s manual or simply try each USB port to see which one works. Once your microphone is connected to a USB 2.0, it should work just fine and Windows will most likely recognize the microphone.
