Question / Help Mic detected and working but not being recorded

[Solarix-X]

My Mic is working fine, there is no problem with it.
I can see the built in sound bar moving around on OBS when I speak into Mic.
Although, it is giving me a 0db reading. I turned up the volume % to 1000 and the db ready then said it was reading 20db but there was still no sound when I looked at the recording, and it stayed at 20db even if there was no noise.
Its a shame, looks like a really powerful program but there really isn't really anything left to tweak that I haven't already tried.
The Audio settings are set up correctly, I have my Blu Snowball being the only input, and no other devices are interfering with it.

Running a separate Audio Input source next to video capture did not work, and input did the same thing

I'm not sure if this will help you but you may want to check to make sure the mic isn't set as the Default Device in Sounds (Under the Playback tab) in the the Control Panel.

I received one for Xmas and installed, per their installation instructions, (plugged in the USB supplied cord) a Yeti Blue Microphone. When I tried recording on it in OBS 64Bit, I could see the green graph bar moving but when I played back the recording, I heard nothing.
I then tried recording just in the Windows sound recorder, I still heard nothing back through my speakers.

I then loaded up YouTube and played a video there and still heard nothing through my speakers and I was listening to videos earlier that day on YouTube. That's when I decided to Google my problem and found the solution.

My Blue Yeti had set the Microphone as the Default Device for Speakers (go figure!) and my speakers wouldn't play nothing.

I had to set my Speakers: Realtek High Definition Audio, as the Default Device.
I then went back to the Yeti Microphone listing, changed the icon from a speaker to a microphone, made sure it listed it as Ready, and then everything worked correctly.

I'll tell you what though....once I heard my voice after recording it through the Yeti microphone, set to Cardioid mode, compared to the cheap 10 year old piece of wire for a microphone I was using, the difference was night and day!
That Yeti microphone sounds terrific, no background noise, no hissing noises that the other old mic had after recording through OBS.

I was even able to turn down the Mic/Audio Boost (multiple) back to 1 in the OBS settings. It was set on 10 before with the old mic, and even at that setting, it was still a bit weak sounding. Not anymore!

It was by far, the best Xmas present I got this year!!!!

Good Luck, I hope this helps.
