Serious problem with Blue Yeti (low sound just in one PC)
Hi everyone,
I’m having a really strange issue with my Blue Yeti USB microphone and I’m running out of ideas.
I tried in another PC and it works perfectly: loud, clear, normal gain with no issues at all.
But on my main PC, the audio is extremely low and “flat”.
What I’ve tried:
- Tested in multiple programs:
- Audacity
- Windows Voice Recorder
- Discord
- Same result everywhere: very low input level
- Tried all USB ports (front and back)
- Reinstalled device drivers
- Reinstalled chipset drivers (Intel)
- Disabled audio enhancements in Windows
- Set mic level to 100%
- Changed sample rates (44100 / 48000 Hz)
- Disabled exclusive mode
- Tested different gain settings on the mic itself
- Formatted Windows completely
Hardware:
- Microphone: Blue Yeti
- Motherboard: BIOSTAR H310MHC
- CPU: Intel i5
- RAM: 16GB
Important detail:
On a different PC, the microphone works perfectly without changing anything, so the mic itself is definitely fine.
My conclusion so far:
It seems like something in my main PC (possibly motherboard behavior) is reducing the input level globally, but I’m not sure.
