Hey there guys,

I recently purchased a Blue Yeti microphone for my PC Gaming/Streaming setup, I have tweaked around with it for some time now and have noticed on recordings using Audicity and even standard windows voice recorder and discord that there is a slight crackle to the sound in the background.

So far following some tips from other users of the mic i have tried the following;

1. Removing the mic from its tabletop stand and putting it on an arm clamped to the desk
2. Tried different USB Ports
3. Tried plugging it into a Powered External USB Hub
4. Moved it around the room recording each position
5. Turned off some non essential electrics
6. Tried updating any drivers (windows, realtek etc)

I have provided a Sample recording on soundcloud

If anyone can help with this in anyway it would be fantastic. Not sure if theres a fix or a known solution/issue or maybe the mic is simply faulty in some way.

Many thanks in advance!

Only other mics I have are on gaming headsets which are fine I checked. I’ve watched some YouTube videos with people using them and they are crystal clear. The clarity of it seems fine, it’s the crackle in the background I can’t seem to fix
