Blue Yeti on Macbook Air

I have a Blue Yeti microphone and when I plug it though USB to my MacBook Pro I can't find it. I have my internal sound input only. I use osx Catalina.

Can someone please help?

Hi there evitamlouis,


We understand you're trying to use a peripheral microphone with your MacBook Air, but the device doesn't show up as an option when connected. Just to be sure, are you looking for the connected mic in System Preferences > Sound >Input?


If so, the following page offers steps and things to check that may help: If a USB device doesn’t work with Mac


If there's still no change, message us back with answers to the following questions:


Does the device connect directly to a USB port on your Mac, or do you have to use an adapter to attach it?


If you open the System Information app, then click USB in the sidebar, does the device show up under the USB Device Tree?


Cheers!
