Blue Yeti Issue ( Persistent )

Alright... So for the past 3 months i have been having a very odd Humming/Buzzing sound, And i'm tired of it ( this post will have a pinch of anger so please bare with me )

 

I have tried EVERYTHING, External USB Hub, Putting Desktop on the Groudn/Carpet, Longer Cord, Different USB port ( I tried them ALL ) 

 

The only exceptions is grounding my Case, Which i have NO clue how i would go about that, And getting a new mic which i have no plans for.

 

Yes the mic has NO issue on the two other computers i have tested it on, So it has something to do with my Setup.

 

Below is a few audio samples of what is going on.

 

Example 1 is at 100% Mic volume ( No Gain )

 

Example 2 is at 75% Mic Volume ( No Gain )

 

Example 3 is at 50% Mic Volume ( No Gain )

 

Please, I am begging the community to help me fix this problem, i am literally desperate at this point.

 

Edit: I use a Mic stand.

Make sure if you're using your windows settings mic boost isn't enabled for that input.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Get a foam pad and have the Yeti sit on that.

When the device is connected, can you see it listed in the Device Manager section?

That's weird. I have my blue yeti, just tested it in audacity, and I had none of that issue, just background noise. I'm currently at 50% volume, about 50% gain, and in my recording settings in windows, I am at 15%.

 

What are your levels in recording properties in windows? By turning mine down from 100% (from my last headset) I drastically improved my audio quality.

Luckily there is such a thing as acoustic foam ^.^

 

For beginning setups... Something like this isn't bad. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Wedgies
