I have tried the microphone on 2 windows 10 computers and it instantly loads the Blue Snowball driver (original driver how it use to be) I have also attempted deleting the listed drivers in device manager, disabling other microphone drivers. Not only does the games and game launcher mess up my microphone driver, but something as simple as accidentally unplugging headphones will cause the issue forcing me to a different driver for my microphone just to get it working.

I am forced to close both the game and discord, then launch the game first, discord second. If im talking in discord and I load steam, a game launcher, or any game that has microphone settings then my microphone instantly stops working in discord and in game.

When I restart my computer it will revert to the USB Class Audio 1.0 2.0 something driver usually, sometimes keeping blue snowball or wlue sno but heres where the problem comes in. If I get Blue Snowball, wlue sno or USB audio class 1.0 2.0 I see the microphone working in the recording devices, but the USB Audio Device does not work. When I unplug and plug the Blue Snowball microphone back in I will get 1 of the following random drivers: Blue Snowball, wlue sno, USB audio device, or USB class audio 1.0 2.0. The microphone does work, the volume is fine etc. I am forced to use a USB Class Audio 1.0 2.0 something something driver instead. So I use a Blue Snowball microphone but Windows 10 wont let me keep the Blue Snowball driver listed under recording devices and device manager. I tried switching cables.Īfter all that I'm uncertain of what to try next.Hey whats up everyone, I got a weird one here. I confirmed that the microphone works just fine with other Windows 10 machines. I've confirmed that the privacy settings are set so the microphone is available to everything. I've changed the power settings so Windows 11 shouldn't be able to put anything on USB to sleep. I've tried looking for new drivers but supposedly they're all working and up to date. I know this because my mic has the three options switch on the back which the Snowball Ice doesn't have. I tried downloading the Blue Sherpa software to update the firmware but even when it does detect it (which it doesn't always detect it) it's misidentifying it as a Blue Snowball Ice which it isn't. I can "wake" it by making a really loud noise like clapping right next to the microphone and it will record for a while but there's no telling when it will go back to sleep and drop out again. The light on the microphone is still on but it's taking in no sound. Ever since I updated to Windows 11 my Blue Snowball has been "going to sleep" for lack of a better way to describe it.
