MacBook Pro "loses" Blue Yeti X

I experienced the same problem. It seems related to the Logitech G-Hub driver for Blue Yeti microphones.

I removed that driver and now my Blue Yeti X microphone is using the integrated driver of macOS and it seems to work without issues. Of course, doing these, all the "Blue Voice" effects and other settings that Logitech's G-Hub app allowed will no longer work, but the microphone should still be usable in its basic functions including volume control or mode change with its physical buttons.

To remove the Logitech G-Hub driver you just need to remove the file "logi_audio_override.kext" from the folder library/extensions of your system hard drive (I just moved it to a folder in my Desktop to keep a backup of the file).

I also used this command in Terminal to remove all the drivers I deleted and I will no longer use (if I'm not wrong, I think this removes a folder that works as cache of drivers):

sudo kextcache --clear-staging

After reboot the system, the microphone should now use the built-in macOS driver with no problem.

For now, my Blue Yeti X microphone seems to work without problems with macOS Monterey 12.2.1. I will maintain Logitech G-Hub installed hoping that sooner or later they will release an update that corrects the problem and be able to use its advanced equalization and profile functions again.

Are you using Zoom? I have this problem too with Monterey 12.1 and a Blue Yeti X, found a thread in the Zoom community and it may be something caused by it. Looks like they are working on it but it's still not clear if the Yeti going away from the input list is really caused by Zoom, most people initially reported an issue with the inputs in Zoom, but there are also some comments referring to the issue you report here.

I have this issue every day on Zoom since upgrading to Monterey. This happens with Slack huddles too, so it's not just Zoom. Switching Mics or unplugging, then re-plugging in the Yeti seems to fix the issue until the next call.

Same problem here since the Monterey upgrade. And it's not only in web calls. The disconnect also happens when using the mic for audio recording.

Even worse is when you are using the yeti in an aggregate device (e.g. for locking input volume or to bundle it with an output of your choice for convenience). Once in an aggregate, it almost immediately looses connection when used. Resulting in the Yeti X being no more listed as a device.

If you have a look at the last fee software upgrades of Logitech gHub, they patched the unplug/replug issue, but without effect on my side. But this tells me that they are aware of it.

Yeti support suggested me to use it without gHub, might be worth a try for you. But this is no option for me since I'm controlling other devices with gHub too.

Same problem here, too, and getting worse since the Monterey upgrade. Started as a Zoom-only issue that I could fix by opening sound.app, but now it doesn't even show up as an available device.

I tried removing gHub and it didn't fix the problem. Disappeared as an available device in about an hour.

I've found that unplugging, then re-plugging the USB from my Yetti Nano will usually do it. Every once in a while (maybe once a week) that stops working and I have to reboot the machine. I'm on an average of 2 or 3 Zoom meetings a day and it seems to be almost every new meeting I have to perform this action.

Yeti X x 3 in our business. Had to go back to Big Sur. I don’t understand how this is still a problem there have been several Monterey updates this far. It should have been patched within a month of being reported.

@ChoPraTs, I tried your solution, and it seems to have fixed the issue for me as well.

I've been on a chat with Blue support, and they are going to be investigating the root cause in GHub. Here's hoping they get it figured out.

Blue Yeti X being a USB microphone, how is the bluetooth issue relevant?

Having the same problem with Webex. I have to un/re-plug the mic at the beginning of every meeting.

I have the same issue. Already submitted a ticket for Logitech on G-hub, but now I can't record my instructional video's. Super frustrating! Contemplating of downgrading back away from Monterey.

Thank you for the detailed reply!!
