What operating system are you using? If you're on Windows 7 or newer you may need to select the headset as Default Device or Default Communication Device in the Sound Control Panel after plugging it in.In this case applications that were open may need to be restarted for changes to take effect.

Not sure if that's a question or statement... Anyway, two things I've noticed using this device for a long time now. You must use the USB cable that came with it (or one IDENTICAL to it). I've used cables that fit and get terrible results. Second, check that your microphone cable and microphone are in working order. Hope this helps.

Mine works okay though the sound quality isn't very good. I had trouble with a flash drive that developed the problem of not being recognized by any of my computers. Found no remedy for it and the company would not replace it. Disgusting turn of affairs. Hope you have better luck. F. Burton

Window 7: Control Panel: Hardware and Sound: Sound: Select the Recording Tab:See if the microphone is recognized. I set mine as default. Then selected Configure. If not recognized. Then may be a driver problem. Also might want to try a different microphone in microphone jack.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I run Linux on my PC, so I can't address the Windows issue. And I don't think I even used the USB interface at all ... I just used the "line-level" output, and plugged that directly into my PC's sound card, and that worked perfectly.

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

Yes, it appears to be a Windows/driver issue for some systems. For more help go to Blue Microphones customer support website, or do a search for "Blue Icicle USB3.0 port problems".

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

1). Did you connect it via the USB cable that was provided?2). Is the green light on?3). Did you use the provided disc to install the drivers for microphone.4). Did you tell your system to use the Podcaster and NOT the microphones that are built into the monitor?5). We use the AVS audio editor to record. You may need a third party software for recording/editing.This is a great microphone.

Try this link for a download location and how to install the drivers. The sound card uses the Realtek engine so they should work.http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1236

Same problem - minimal recording volume. I tried using it with Skype and Duolingo with no luck. Went to Logitech to see if there were drivers for my OS (Windows 8.1) but there are none. It's going back.

Can't say this has happened to me. Make sure you have the latest software. Download it from their website. Best of luck. My BYP works great!!!! Best mic I ever bought.

Delete the USB driver and restart your PC, then it should be ok. It is not the MP3 problem. I have 3 of this mp3. , they don" t have any problem since Ibought it last June

Not sure if you can play the USB audio, I tried and couldn't "find" the file to play it after I plugged it in. You may be able to play the disc, I've never tried that option, but you won't have the words on the screen. I also use mine as my DVD player for movies, etc when not using for karaoke
