I own a Blue Yeti microphone and am trying to use it to record some audio with OBS. I have done this in the past and it has worked fine, and I haven't changed any sound settings in between the last time it worked and now. The only thing that I have done since the last time I was able to record the microphone was reboot my computer.

In the sound settings, my microphone shows up fine

lsusb also shows my microphone as connected

The problem is, even though the microphone is un-muted and picking up audio, Ubuntu is not picking up any audio. I know the microphone is working because when I put my headphones into the mic, I can hear myself speak.

I also checked alsamixer, which is showing my microphone fine.

I tried changing settings up pavucontrol, but the microphone is set to Analog Stereo Duplex which is what other posts on here said to double check.

Lastly, I tried overriding pin 0x12 in hdajackretask to no avail.

I'm out of ideas on what can be causing this problem. Other last-ditch-efforts things I have tried include restarting my computer and using different USB ports.

  • Please try selecting the other microphone choice in the Sound settings window (the one that says "Digital Input (S/PDIF)" and try to record audio from the microphone again. Also, please make sure that both of the microphone choices in the Sound settings window are un-muted and set to the same input volume. I do not have any experience with this microphone; I am j
