Blue yeti plugged in via USB records no sound

[georgiefame]

Hi, i bought the blue yeti mic and plugged it into my windows 10 pc
but it records no sound
Message indicates that mic driver was installed ok but I cannot get it to work
Tried a replacement mic as well and tried it on my laptop also
Still no sound
anything else I can try?
thanks
George

No sound, coming from where?

 

[georgiefame]

when i replay the track in camtasia, nothing. the track has no sound wave in it.
Or if I do a Skype test recording, nothing

Is the Yeti selected as the input device in Camtasia / Skype?

 

[georgiefame]

Fixed the input device on camtasia. It is now working thanks.
I get the playback sound when I disconnect the yeti USB.
Is there some way to get the sound without disconnecting the USB?

You still haven't really answered my earlier question...

you need to set the playback device to your normal speakers. the yeti has a headphone jack in it and the sound may switch to that if you plug it in

well what happens is the yeti records sound ok
But to hear the playback I have to remove its USB fro my PC.
Only then do I hear sound on my speakers.
So I cannot use the mic, for example, in conversations

Yeti is selected as the mic and and speakers
Realteck is also set as speakers

Right clicking Speakers-Yeti, only allows completely disabling the yeti entirely.

Where is the Yeti selected as both the mic and the speakers?

That is only a display, NOT a "selection".

Take a screenshot of the in/out settings in Windows and Camtasia or Skype.

And yet, there IS a signal level indication right underneath that selection, in Skype.

Have you tried plugging your headphones into the Yeti headphone output?

I can clearly see the Yeti is selected as the output device in Skype, even though the Realtek is selected as the default output in Windows.

 

[georgiefame]

I got it. I needed to set skype output to realtek.
All working now ., thaks
