So I own a SS arctis pro + gamedac for about a month and a Blue yeti (non pro) for about 2-3 months, The mic is working as its recognized and I can use it sometimes and fully functions on other pc's that I have tested. (I'm on windows 10)
The issue that I'm having is that if I use discord or any other software the mic is recognized and recognized by windows 10 but its not picking up any sound, after I replug my yeti it starts picking up sound BUT my arctis pro playback sound goes to the gamechat and the gamedac playback option in windows just completely disappears, only after I replug my gamedac it comes back and I have normal audio again and all is perfect untill I restart discord or anything and the mic stops picking up any sound, I've tried almost everything.
Testing it on a other pc, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling gamedac drivers, reinstalling usb host controller, reinstalling the yeti drivers (all by uninstalling them in device manager), replugging it into different usb ports and sometimes a combination of reinstalling and using different ports. Also have searched in the windows settings but even at privacy it is allowed to use my mic, I've checked to see if its disabled in properties tab and checked the mute button on the yeti itself.
I must also note that the Arctis pro + gamedac headset mic works perfectly fine in all situations but I don't want to use that one since I have the yeti.
so I'm thinking its either a software issue by steelseries or blue yeti or windows but I'm not sure and its just frustrating. I might try to get a new usb cable for the yeti to see if this fixes it but I doubt it.
I hope someone can help me out and figure out what is causing this and hopefully be able to fix it.
