Samson C01U USB Mic Not Recognized On Computer

Hey guys, I've been using this mic for a while and it's never really had any issues. One day I booted up my computer and it's not recognized, it realizes there is something plugged in but the mic will not work, and the indicator light is off. I've tried restarting the computer, plugging it into every USB port on the computer, uninstalling all the USB port drivers and restarting. The mic is considered to be plug-and-play, so there are no drivers to be found. If someone could help me out I would be extatic!

 

Cheers!

Have you plugged it into any other computer?

Hope I could help!

Try other ports or a driver issue...Try to reinstall the disc if it has one.

I just plugged it into my Mac, and It worked! I brought it back to my PC, and it worked there too! I unplugged it to set it back up in the shock mount, and now it doesn't work again...

This sounds like a break in the cable somewhere. Try wiggling the cable at various points.

No problem. Tried a different cable? A quick Google search shows that it has a removable cable.
