Yeti Microphone Issues With M1 Mac

Hello,


I have purchased a M1 Mac Mini recently, and connected my Blue Yeti X Microphone. I tried to use it, however, when I did a test recording, the audio was very messed up. I have attached a link to listen for yourself. I have tried restarting my device, checked it has all the permissions, the levels were corrected and have searched for solutions but have not came across one. I tried to connect the yeti microphone to a friend's intel based MacBook Pro, and the microphone worked well. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or can Apple fix this in an upcoming software update?

No, It does not work with G Hub. I deleted it and downloaded the latest version and the problem is still the same. Logitech support told me to delete G Hub and install the latest version of Blue Sherpa which I did and the problem is still the same. As I said before, Logitech has no idea what the problem is and I question if they are even trying to figure it out. They just give useless advise to try things that most of us have tried on our own. I wonder if they even have an M1 Mac to test on.

Hi,


I think the VirtualMic.driver is from EpoCam which you may have installed earlier. Try searching for all Intel processes in Activity Monitor with no search/filter - I see you filtered for "log" in your screenshot. I can't remember what the intel g-hub process was called, but it might not have "log" in the name. That may still be running on your machine...

Try getting rid of the "Blue" extension. I think it is installed by the Yeti "Sherpa" software here: - the extension captures Yeti audio and processes it according to the Sherpa app. So, I think this is a good candidate for garbling your audio. I had it installed at one point and I deleted it. I'm not quite sure how to disable it. I *think* it might be launched by the Sherpa Control panel and adjusting the settings there. So, I stay away from the Sherpa control panel...


I don't know if this extension was causing my garbled audio recordings, but it's worth a try!

Indeed it is the Blue App. I did not uninstall it. I just restart the Mac and do not use the Blue App. I checked after and noticed that there is no more "Blue" found in the Activity Monitor and the sound from the Yeti X is fine. I was actually thinking the original solution is to use the Blue Software and not just a basic USB microphone. Looks like it is back to the court of Blue/Logitech after all. Thank you.
