Hi Mike! I’ve changed the subject line if you don’t mind as the email came here without one.
Okay the first thing to do with the Yeti is to replace the USB cable you’re using with it as a precaution as it sounds to me the days of that particular cable are numbered. You’re looking for a good external USB sound device to have on hand? Try the Aurion 7.1 sound device. It has analogue and digital in/outs and can handle multiple channels. This device works on any Operating system, I have one here and I think I bought it early last year, the Pc-Audio archive will tell me as I wrote about it to the list at the time. > On 4 Jan 2016, at 1:54 PM, Mike Bernard via Pc-audio <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > From: "Mike Bernard" <[email protected]> > Subject: looking for an external plug n play usb soundcard > Date: 4 January 2016 at 1:53:08 PM AEDT > To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <[email protected]> > > > Hello everyone, > > I currently use the built-in soundcard on my Yeti usb microphone to monitor > and listen to music as its playing over the air during my radio show. > However, once in a while, the Yeti's soundcard makes a crackling sound.
