Need help with blue snowball

[HammyTheHybrid]

So i got my blue snowball in the mail yesterday and it was working fine for the first 1-3 hours.. Then people were saying i sounded robotic, that i was echoing, this and that, then the mic just stopped working.. Then it gave This error whenever i plugged it in.. Please.... ANYONE HELP ;A;

Someone here might be able to help you, but honestly if that happened to me exactly as you describe I'd just say it's a bad unit and RMA it. It definitely sounds bad to me.

Hmm.. ive tought about it but i wanna try to find any solution before doing that..

Try uninstalling the recording device driver, unplug the microphone, plug it back in and it should reinstall the driver.

Note: You might need to reboot your PC at some point after the driver loads.

 

If the problem still persists, I would return for a refund/exchange from place of purchase.

Are you able uninstall that driver, unplug the device and then plug it back in and will it load a new driver?

Uninstall drivers for the mic, and uninstall the mic from the devices list, unplug it from your computer, restart your computer fully, plug back in the mic, check for any new device drivers.

 

Also, make sure the cord is plugged into the mic properly - this can be a known issue with the device.

Choose the appropriate device and select uninstall.

 

In your case, the unrecognized device. If this isn't a solution, you could try right-clicking the unrecognized device and going to properties > details > hardware IDs and copy the first result listed and google it, you may find the driver there.

I would contact customer support, or put in a ticket with them ... this is beyond me at this point.

 

If you don't mind dealing with customer support, do it ... otherwise RMA. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

That's unfortunate.
