AKG headphones plugged into dac/amp (Sennheiser GSX 1000) via 3.5mm jack.
The amp then connects to my pc via USB.
At this point things are working great!
Mic (Blue Yeti X) connected to pc via USB.
This is where things go wrong.
I use chat apps like “Discord” and sometimes “Steam” but ever since I’ve started to use my new setup I can’t get the mic to work at the same time as my headphones and dac/amp. Either the mic wont pickup my voice or the headphones have no sound, the issues vary and change randomly.
My question is… Is it normal to have a USB mic connected and a USB dac/amp connected at the same time without issues? Or have I stumbled across a common error?
Have you checked in your sound settings (right click the little speaker icon in the bottom right of the taskbar) to make sure that output and input are set to the correct devices? Sometimes my computer will put my mic as the output (I think since it has a port for monitoring).
You may need to find similar settings within Discord, or other programs you use.
Hi MrAyrit, Yes I’ve changed those settings numerous times unfortunately, I’m really confused as to what this issue is.
For example… if I plug the headphone 3.5mm jack straight into the pc everything works fine, also if I plug the headphone directly into the Blue Yeti mic, again, everything works fine and as it should do. The problems only appear to be present when i introduce a USB dac/amp into the setup. I’m beginning to think I may have a hardware fault or some sort of incompatibility issue.
Go into your sound control panel and see, if everything is set correctly as the default output/ input devices. I use an USB Dac and an usb modmic together and it works fine. You probably have to switch your input default from your gsx/motherboard to the blue mic. Disable all the inputs you don’t use. Might work.
