at2020 Mic becomes quiet after 5 secods

[soggywaffle276]

I have an AT2020 connected to a Steinberg UR22mkII DAQ, lately i have been experiencing an issue where I hear my mic normally but suddenly after a couple seconds it drops to inaudible. I have installed the new drivers for the daq and tried a new XLR cable but nothing helps and the only way i can hear the mic is cranking the gain (makes it sound like a tornado) so far no tutorials have helped my reddit posts have gone unanswered and nothing i could think of has worked (Phantom power is on if you were wondering) please let me know if you can help or have any insight into a solution.
