I havent even used my microphone for several years and before that i only used it like max 10 times. Suddenly i realize that when i put in the micro usb cable, the microphone gets turned on yes, but windows does not recognize it. I have tried with different cables and also with two computers.

As far as i know the micro usb port on this device is pooly designed and many people experience the same as me. But my question is. What do i do now? Soldering it seems to be a complex task since i need special tools.

And if i use the XLR cable, then chatgpt says i wont be using the gain function or the shure plus motiv or that it wont be registered in windows?

Any suggestions? Gosh
