While the problem seems intermittent in some cases, the Blue Snowball mic was not showing up altogether for others. So, let’s find out how to fix things.

Why is my Blue Snowball mic not working?

Here are some of the reasons why the Blue Snowball mic is not working on your PC:

Connection problems – This is the most common underlying cause when your Blue Snowball mic is not turning on and should be the first thing you check for. Issues with the driver – Corrupt or outdated drivers are just as likely to cause the problem, and updating the microphone drive should do the trick. Misconfigured settings – If the settings don’t permit apps to access the mic, you may find that the microphone is not working.

How do I fix my Blue Snowball mic if it’s not working?

Before we try the slightly complex solutions, here are a few quick ones that might fix things:

Make sure the connections are in order. Plug the microphone into another USB port, and if you use a USB hub, remove it and connect the Blue Snowball mic directly to the port. Gently wiggle (move) the end of the cable connected to the microphone. Though it may sound foolish, the method has helped many users fix things. Install the latest available version of Windows. Use a different cable to connect the mic and computer. Check whether the Blue Snowball mic is working on other computers. If it’s not, chances are that there’s a hardware fault to blame, but if it does, you will need to look at the software aspect.

If none of the above tricks worked, head to the ones below.

1. Reinstall the device

In most cases, it’s the Blue Snowball mic driver error to blame when the device is not working; it should be there now. However, if the problem persists, head to the following method.

2. Update drivers

Updating it should do the trick if it’s an outdated driver. Moreover, if Windows couldn’t find a better version, you could always manually update the driver. SPONSORED On the other hand, you could try updating your drivers or uninstalling them completely and reinstalling them using dedicated third-party driver updaters and fixers. These work automatically by scanning your PC and cross-referencing their online database to find the right driver for your particular hardware model and ensure you get the latest available.

3. Modify the power settings

Often, the OS stops powering USB devices, and the Blue Snowball mic might stop working. Simply disabling the USB selective suspend setting should do the job. Disclaimer: this program needs to be upgraded from the free version in order to perform some specific actions.

4. Check permissions

Also, if the Blue Snowball mic is not working in Discord, make sure that you have enabled the permissions for the app individually. Before you leave, find out what to do if the microphone volume is low and fix the problem efficiently. Please let us know if these solutions helped you by using the comment section below.
