As the title suggests. A USB mic works on every device except my main PC. However, every other usb mic works on my main PC except this particular one.
Where do I even start troubleshooting this? I'm using Windows 10. I have tried all the possible USB ports that would normally work for any other device but not this mic. The mic also doesn't require any drivers as specified on official manufacturer website.

Edit: Worth mentioning that the mic had been working fine for over 2 months. One day it just stopped showing up in device manager for no apparent reason.

No action not even detectable. Sounds like there's a hardware failure in the device - broken or loose connection inside somewhere.

The circumstances are just strange. Mic works on every other device so you would think the problem is in the PC, but then every other USB device including mics work perfectly on said PC, even in the same USB port.

Even though the microphone doesn't specify any drivers and worked fine without them, maybe there's some incompatibility that was caused by a minor win 10 update?
