Hi! I just started working on 'let's play' videos and I'm having some trouble getting my mic to work properly. I have a Yeti Blue, which is a basic USB mic with no corresponding software. When I first plugged it in, it worked fine. It has a headphone jack on it that you can just plug in and hear your voice without any additional set-up, so that's what I was doing. Then, I tried to play with the audio device configuration in order to try and get sound playback through that headphone output on the mic, which I was able to do (the sound device manager sees that Yeti as both a playback device and mic). I then ticked 'listen to this device' in the properties to essentially hear the game audio and my voice, which more or less worked (with a bit of feedback and latency in hearing myself, which I expected).
I tried to put everything back the way it was (setting the speakers to main audio, untick the listen to yourself optioin, etc.), but now the problem is is that when I plug my headphones into the mic, I'm not getting any sound through it. I tried recording with the Windows sound recorder, which worked except there's a low feedback hum in the background (even with speakers turned off). It's not very loud, but before the playback on the recording was crystal clear). I tried to set up the speech recognition, just to see what would happen), and after I say the test phrase, it tells me the PC couldn't hear anything and asks if the mic is muted. That's pretty weird because as I said before, it does record (at a reduced quality?), and if I go to the sound device manager, I can see the sound levels go up and down on the small meter next to the microphone.
I plugged it into another computer (also running Win7), and it worked normally, so I know the problem in my main comp is somewhere in the configuration. I pretty sure I set everything back to the way it was, so I can't figure out where the problem is...
