Let’s not forget that Blue Yeti has been a success among many streamers and podcasters. In the last 5 years, it has been considered an S-tier microphone as it provided the best value for money. With the best features and quality components, it came with various issues that have been recognized by the community early on. Although it isn’t hard to fix those, finding the problem is the main issue here.
We’ll get into further detail on the muting issue. The blue yeti stuck on mute could have a variety of issues. It may have several difficulties, including sluggish buttons and sporadic muting. Let’s examine the mute-related problems and their fixes.
How to Fix Blue Yeti Stuck on Mute?
The fixes are given below:
Fix # 1:
The permanent mute occasionally happens when you push the mute while the device is charging. It’s not a given that it will occur. But that has happened in certain instances. One fix is that you update your drivers.
Click on Start > Control Panel. There, you may find the System and Security.
Then System > Device Manager > controls games, video, and sound. After clicking on it, Blue Yeti will be displayed.
Then device properties > Update drivers > Click on it.
Your drivers will be updated, and then try to look if it fixes your problem or not.
Fix # 2:
When we don’t connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the microphone, we occasionally assume the microphone is damaged. Therefore, make sure your USB is connected in 2.0, not 3.0. A defective cable is another item that might be the source of this issue. Unfortunately, Blue Yeti cables aren’t of great quality out of the box. Thus, it’s likely that the cord has been destroyed. It could be that the mute button isn’t functioning well because of the broken wire.
Fix # 3:
Simply having a broken button might make the mute button stop working. Once the mic is put in, the mute button turns red. And if you see that it isn’t lighting up anymore, there’s a chance it has been damaged. So, make sure the light lit up upon plugging into your PC port. If it doesn’t, there’s a good chance it’s either damaged or faulty out of the box.
Fix # 4:
Upon finding out that the mute button on your blue yeti is stuck forever, now it’s a good time to take it to your local repair shop and have it replaced. Also, if it’s under warranty, you can claim the warranty and get yourself a new Blue Yeti, which is always better than having it repaired by some local repair shop.
Conclusion
The abovementioned troubleshooting steps have gone through in detail to fix this stuck-on mute problem. Often the problem is within the hardware more than the software. It’s better to use a hotkey to mute your mic rather than pressing a button on the mic. They get worn off quickly and cause problems like the button getting stuck on mute.
