Blue Snowball USB-Mic problems.

Spoiler

This is probably in the wrong category, please forgive me admins ._.

My mic disconnects every single time I open a game, only way for me to use skype or ts3 while gaming is to close ALL programs that might have something to do with the mic, and then re-open them, after the game is open.
I have no idea how to fix this, and it is extremely irritating.

Using windows 10.
Tried a different cable.
Tried a different USB-port.

Uninstall all 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 drives, ta da! Otherwise try contacting the Mic manufacturer, it may be a problem with Windows 10.

I had already done this, did it again just to be sure, problem still presists.

Does your snowball have a serial number? If so is it lower than 76-065000? If so your snowball is not compatible with recent versions of Windows.

The newer ones don't have one, meaning it should be up to date for your system, sorry I don't really know what to suggest any more, have you contacted the manufacturer?

Thanks for your help, it seems to be a problem with windows 10 since it works flawlessly on my elementaryOS (linux).
If someone finds out a solution on how to fix it on win 10 please post it ^^

I am not sure tbh, I am now using a different PC and I don´t have any of the problems I used to have, but I am using windows 8.1 on this computer. We had to record some stuff on my friends laptop, which has windows 10 and it worked flawlessly on that aswell. I would suggest reinstalling windows / checking usb drivers. Also there is a chance that the cable that connects to the microphone is loose, if you take the cable out you should see 2 metal pins inside the mic. Try bringing them towards eachother a little bit, that should allow the cable to make better contact.
