Ok, so I unboxed and plugged in my Blue Yeti Pro for the first time today, and it's not picking up any sound, regardless of settings.
The power is on, I installed the official driver (on W10) and the system recognizes it, it's not muted, but when I try to record all I get is silence (or occasionally distorted buzzing noise when i increase the gain and talk directly into it).
I tried restarting the PC, reinstalling drivers, using different USB slots, three different mini USB cables, on two different PCs, and nothing helps. When I plugged in earbuds at the bottom to listen to it, I could hear the buzzing and crackling noise a lot clearer, but otherwise no difference. It reacts to sound, but not the way it should.
At this point I'm pretty sure the unit is defective, but sadly I ordered it online over 6 months ago so I can't return or exchange it. I'm still hoping it's a problem with the USB port, and not the mic itself, but I can't test the XLR connector until I get my mixer board later this month.
Anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas? Please tell me I'm not stuck with a $250 paperweight lol.

Set it on fire and put it on YT maybe you get some views. Tweet at Blue with the hashtag #QA. Then buy a Rode NT1 kit.

Damn op, that sucks... Always test everything as soon as you get it, especially if you order from less than reputable dealers. I learned that lesson the hard way too. Sorry I can't help, hope you can get it working somehow.

Thanks anon. Yeah I was stupid. I mailed Blue's support to see if they have any advice, and I'm waiting for the mixer so I can check the XLR connector... If nothing works I'll try a local repair shop. Just sucks to spend so much money on a mic and have it not work.

I bet the mic isn't even broken. You are just too retarded to figure it out how to set it up.

Is their a switch on the microphone itself that needs to be turned on in order to activate it?
