Blue Snowball suddenly not picking up any sound?

[Leetal]

Hello!

I have been using my snowball for a very long time with no problem. Suddenly, one day, my snowball is not showing any signs of picking up sound on my pc. When I plug my snowball into my laptop, it works fine. When i plug my snowball into other usbs on my pc(which definitely work, because i can plug my webcam into certain usbs and the microphone from my webcam picks up sounds fine) it still picks up no sound. My computer fully recognizes it, making a sound when it is connected/disconnected. The snowball lights up to show it is connected. This is a computer related or windows 10 issue, I just can't figure it out at all...I have no idea why this is happening.

The snowball is set to default device and there is no sound picked up even when i set it as default on any program. The bars that pick up sound in the sound manager are not moving. Any of the basic stuff is ruled out. Anyone have a clue? Please help Thanks!

You can try different USB ports. Also try to re-install your audio driver. Just go to Device Manager, select your audio driver and uninstall it (do not remove the software). And then restart the computer. Windows should re-install it, and it should work agian.

I've tried different USB ports, which I know work so that's not the issue. I will try to reinstall my audio driver and update. Thank you!

Have you tried to re-install your audio driver?

I just had the issue issue today and I managed to fix it for myself. I went to drivers and deleted not only the Blue Snowball under "Audio inputs and outputs" but also blue snowball under "Sound, Video and game controllers" down below. After deleting both I unplugged the snowball then plugged in back in and it asked me to restart to finish setting up installing. After restart it worked again. Tell me if this works for you.
