Unique Yeti Microphone Issues

[enchantingclan]

Thanks so much for coming here, I am desperate. My mic is NOT MUTED. I have muted it and unmuted it an insane amount of times. NOTHING WORKS. So my buddy tested this mic and it worked. He shipped it to me and I can't get it to work now. The computer senses the microphone as an input and an output device. It senses the prerecorded sounds sent to the pc when buttons are clicked. It senses no spoken sound (I have full on screamed/yelled into the mic and absolutely nothing is sensed. The mic's volume is not turned down. I have tried every pattern, every mode that is possible. I have removed the device from Windows and I have reinstalled it several times. Almost every YouTube video has been completely unhelpful to me. As of today, I believe this is a hardware issue that may have occurred during shipping. I plan on taking the mic apart and seeing if there are any visible internal issues. Someone please please help me diagnose this issue and stop me before I make a decision I will regret when taking this thing apart. Far fetched ideas are better than no ideas. Thanks for reading! My bad mic is currently the only thing holding back my stream quality. This is super super important to me. I may not have many viewers, but I care what they see!

Edit: This is a standard Blue Yeti Microphone.
