The way I fixed the mic before was I set it up how I knew it was supposed to work, rebooted, and Windows picked up my mic. These are my current windows settings (I haven't installed Photoshop yet, so MS Paint it is =(): I'm using an nForce 680i SLI, with Realtek HD (5.00.10) drivers. I.e., if I play some music, whoever I'm talking to in skype can hear the music MSN messages, themselves talking, etc etc. I've got it now to where Windows picks up the mic and it works, but people can hear what I'm listening to. I just picked up a new headset (it's irrelevant, but for bragging rights, Sennheiser PC350 ), and Windows and microphones have ALWAYS given me problems. Besides, I don’t suffer this playback at all when I use Windows 10 on this same machine.Well, I'm not going to lie, I registered to help troubleshoot this Some of these observations would make me believe this is a hardware feature of the mic itself yet, the Blue Yeti doesn’t have any sort of direct monitoring as far as I know.
When I switch output devices to some speakers I have connected to my computer, I don’t hear the playback through those speakers… put if I put on the headphones I still do!. I can still hear the playback even when I switch input devices (specifically, to my webcam’s mic).
Changing the input volume in the OS does not change the volume of the playback.
Changing the output volume in the OS changes the volume of the playback, up to the point where muting the output volume stops the playback. Using the physical mute switch on the Blue Yeti makes the playback stop. Some things I’ve noticed about this behavior: I would like to disable this playback, but cannot find how, and so any advice would be appreciated. I’ve noticed that I can faintly hear the mic’s input playing back through my headphones at all times when using Fedora (for example, when I speak). I use a Blue Yeti USB microphone as my both my primary audio input and output device, with headphones connected to the mic’s aux output.
