Blue snowball mic stops working occasionally
Ever since I switched to a new pc, my blue snowball doesn’t cooperate as well as it did with the old pc.

In discord occasionally, my mic stops working at random times and I have to replug the usb back into the port. It doesn’t do that 95% of the time in my steam games.
Any ideas on why I’m geting this problem?
Thanks.

try disabling exclusive mode in the advanced properties (right click speaker icon, select "recording devices", right click mic, select properties, advanced tab, uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device") that may fix it.

Yeah, you probably never want to use the exclusive feature anyways. It causes more problems than it is worth.
