If you are desperate to know how to fix Blue Yeti microphone issues, you have luckily arrived at the right place. We know simple and effective ways to fix Blue Yeti not recognized on Windows 10 and other issues with this mic. Just work your way down through the list of tips below and get your device up and running again:

Make sure your microphone is turned on

Yep, we know that seems too obvious, but a lot of users get panicked into troubleshooting before checking if their Blue Yeti mic is actually on. So, take a closer look at yours and see if the piece of hardware has been switched on – this might save you both time and effort.

Check your microphone connection

The second step is to ensure that your mic is properly connected. It is a good idea to reconnect it – some users have reported this manoeuvre has worked for them. You can also try another USB port since the current one might be faulty.

Make sure it is not a hardware issue

Now it is time to connect your device to another computer. The point is, the mic might be faulty. If so, you need to invest in a new device.

Set your Blue Yeti as a default device

You may have issues with your Blue Yeti mic if it is not configured to be your default device. Here is how you can fix that:

  1. Go to your taskbar.
  2. Navigate to the system tray.
  3. Right-click on the Speaker icon.
  4. Select Recording Devices.
  5. Locate your Blue Yeti mic (keep in mind that it might be under the name USB Advanced Audio Device).
  6. Right-click on the device and select Set Default Device.
  7. Click Apply and OK to save the changes.

Now check if your Blue Yeti issue has been resolved.

No success so far? Then keep on reading – one of the following fixes is sure to help you.

Make sure your mic is not disabled in Windows

To do that, take the steps below:

  1. Go to the volume icon in the taskbar.
  2. Right-click on the icon.
  3. Select Recording devices.
  4. Locate an empty space and right-click on it.
  5. Select ‘Show disconnected devices' and ‘Show disabled devices'.

See if your microphone is detected now. Then enable it.

Update your microphone driver

If your mic's driver is out of date, it can prevent the device from proper functioning. This means that updating the driver will most likely resolve your Blue Yeti problem.

Here is how you can do that:

Update the driver manually

You can update the driver in question yourself. To do that, you should go to the manufacturer's website and find the necessary software. Download it, then install it on your PC. Remember that you should be very careful since installing the wrong driver may cause your system to malfunction.

Now you know how to fix Blue Yeti microphone issues in Windows 10. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to leave your comment below.

Remove background noise, turn your mic off automatically while not speaking or add gain if its volume is too low. All this can be done in just a few steps with OBS-Studio.
I will show you how to install the Mic DSP plugin to get a noise suppression filter and then how to configure your microphone in OBS-Studio to use the 3 mentioned filters.
Noise Gate and Gain filter come right with OBS but you will have to grab and install the Mic DSP Plugin.
And you might also need the Visual Studio Redistributable. Just grab both the x86 and x64 version and install both.
Then open the downloaded DSP Plugin zip file and extract its content directly into the main OBS-Studio folder. If you used the installer that would be:
C:Program Files (x86)OBS-Studio
It will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing files and it will ask you for administrative permission, say yes and accept the administrative permission.
Now we can start OBS-Studio and if you have not done so yet, go into the configuration and set up your Microphone there. Settings -> Audio
You can configure two playback and three recording devices (and later on configure independent filters for each of them). Most people will just need the Desktop Audio Device and most important for this guide the Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device.
The 'default' setting will often work right away but you can also select your Microphone and Desktop Audio Device in the dropdown if you prefer to do so.
Push to mute and Push to talk can also be enabled and configured for each active Audio source in this screen, the Hotkeys are then configured under Settings -> Hotkeys. (Capture Cards and other audio sources will also show up in this list)

But now lets add the filters to our Microphone. In the Mixer section click on the cogwheel of the Audio Device you want to add the filters to. In my case the 'Mic/Aux' device:
Two options should show up, 'Properties' and 'Filters', we want to add Filters so select this option. Resize if necessary and place the new window that came up above or at the side of your audio mixer so you can still see the green bars moving:
Click on the plus icon as shown in the picture to add the desired filter. The three different filters give you the following options:
  • Noise Suppress
    • Remove background noise
    • Suppress Level (dB) - lower dB Value=more suppression
    • Start on -10 and go down up to -60 until the background noise is gone
  • Gain
    • Increases the Input
    • Gain (dB) - negative Values will lower your Audio Input while positive Values will increase it
    • Do some tests by recording your Audio Input and checking the video to make sure no clipping occurs because of too audio high volumes.
  • Noise Gate
    • Turn the Microphone off if no one is talking
    • Close Threshold
      • When the mic drops below this volume, the noise gate will turn off the microphone
    • Open Threshold
      • When the mic goes above this volume, the noise gate will turn on the microphone
    • Attack time
      • How long it takes for the mic to go from off to on, as a fade in.
    • Hold time
      • How long the mic should stay on after the volume has dropped below the close threshold.
    • Release time
      • How long it takes for the mic to go from on to off, as a fade out.
    • In most cases configure your Close Threshold first (it always has to be lower as your open Threshold). First do not talk and see if the Microphone inputs any Volume in OBS, then increase the Close Threshold until the Microphone input stops.
      Now start talking and see if your Open Threshold is correct. You should see the green bar moving, meaning your voice comes in. You can then increase the Open Threshold until the Microphone stops showing input in OBS. Then slightly lower it again and you should have a good value.
I personally use them in the following order:

  • Noise suppression
  • Noise Gate
  • Gain
So first OBS removes the background noise, then it will just open the mic while I am talking and last but not least it will increase this input slightly so you can hear me loud and clear.

Always do a test recording or test stream after you configured your audio settings. Make sure no clipping occurs and that your overall input volume is not too high or too low.
