Hey
The other day I purchased a Blue Yeti (the standard Yeti, not the Pro or Studio) because I'd heard very good things about them and the simplicity of connecting it with a USB cable.
However I've ran into numerous problems with it. First of all when I connect it to my computer my headphones cut off. I've been into the sound control panel and made sure that my playback default device is my headphones but when I select that the control panel starts freezing and not responding but when it unfreezes the headphones and speakers are gone and it's just the Yeti left. I even have to uninstall the USB from the device driver and restart my computer just to get that USB port and my headphones to work again.
Secondly when I use audacity with my Yeti, I record something but when I press the stop button it freezes for about 10 seconds and if I try clicking then it causes Audacity to not respond and it could crash but if I wait it out and press play it's hit or miss as to whether I get an error message, it plays but with no audio or it plays no problems. The majority of the time it won't play whatsoever and I can not do anything with my Yeti on Audacity.
When I run into these problems with the general sound or using audacity, if I have YouTube open playing something even that will crash. The audio could stop working and the video plays or the video could stop and then get an "an error has occurred" screen. The microphone is causing many problems but I want to fix them all because I know that when they're working they're some of the best microphones out there.
Thanks in advice for the suggestions.
