I like this microphone very much. But my Windows 7 laptop keeps losing the microphone driver. I have to repeatedly reinstall it. Any suggestions?

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

We had to return the one I got my son for Christmas. After we purchased the microphone I went out to get the adapter to USB. The computer said it was working but it never received audio input. I think it has to go directly into an amp. It seems like a great mic but doesn't fit our use. I replaced it with a snowball. Half the price and works great.

My friend's works fine under Windows 8. As far as I'm aware, there have been no driver changes from Window Vista through to 8. However, the mic/inputs on this unit are very sensitive. I blew mine out. Great sounding unit though I've switched to Focusrite's Scarlett and Personus's Firestudio.

We have had the same issue with this microphone. If you still have the packaging, send it back!

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

Not from my experience. Win 8 does not recognize the microphone. On Jan 13, 2013 I received the following from Yeti - "Currently our design and engineering staff is testing the new Windows 8 operating system along with our USB products for compatibility. Please check back in the near future for more information regading this matter." This is on the 64 bit v. of Win 8.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

This is a good question. But the fact is that unfortunately (may be fortunate according to your request) the microphone does not work for me from the very beginning.

Hi Justin, I have one of these gadgets but once I installed it and used it, it worked fine and I have not had any issues with the driver, I wish I could be of more help, good luck

I had that problem with one of my cell phones, and I never solved it. I purchased a different phone , and it showed up on my computer. As for this microphone, I plugged it in my usb port, and it automatically showed up and worked. Try different usb ports if available, some have different settings.

I did not have any issues with getting the microphone to work. The mic does not work at certain times, for example between songs. You may want to go through setting to increase the mic volume and decrease the music volume.

That's pretty strange, M.J.I just uninstalled Italk and then reinstalled it - no problems.Is it possible to keep going somehow after the "this app requires a microphone" message.After all, you will have a microphone when you plug it in!

If you downloaded the driver it could be your microphone boost that is on, or maybe you have some grounding issues, make sure your usb is in all the way, or it could be that your microphone have some wiring issues. If everything doesn't work, try looking up on google.

Yeah. It's good about that. However, I would suggest not getting this one. Mine crapped out after just four months. It may have ben that I was bending it up every which way a lot, and perhaps that messed up the wires. Just be forewarned: It may not last long, and you want to avoid bending the mic arm as much as possible.

I have no problem with mine using Win7 just plugin and let Windows download the driver.Have you tried different USB port? I suggest using USB 2.0 ports instead of 3.0. I Have the same problem with Windows 7 and found out I've installed too many USB devices to my system and there's a lot of drivers tied to my usb port that causing the issue using a different port works for me.

not sure what version of windows you are using but in win 7, go to start, control panel, hardware and sound, sound, click on the recording tab and make sure the microphone is selected. Hit apply and you should be all good. You might have to reboot after this process.
