Blue Snowball iCE does not work on Windows 10

[Michael_009]

Yeah.. Bought a Snowball iCE yesterday from Best Buy, hoping to use it to record music and stuff.
Plugged it in, and tried recording it with Audacity. Does not register, no matter what I have tried.

Pretty much every solution out there, I have tried.. if you can think of anything, PLEASE help!
When I check the mic in the sound/device manager, it shows up as functioning 100%. Not muted or anything, and looks like it SHOULD work. But it doesn't.

UPDATE: Fixed it by switching the USB from the front ports to the back. Hope this helps somebody.

Are you sure this 100% fixed the problem?! Because I am planning to purchase a Blue Snowball iCE microphone and my computer is running windows 10,
And I am worried it won't work on my computer as a lot of people are complaining about how the microphone doesn't work on computers that run windows 10.

Great Tip about using rear USB port. Worked like a charm. Thanks for tip
