Blue Yeti microphone not appearing in iMac sound settings

Hello,


I'm having a problem with my iMac not recognizing my Blue Yeti microphone. I have a 2020 model, 27" 5K iMac with 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9. It has 64GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ram and running Tahoe 26.7.1. I've had my Blue Yeti plugged in and using Riverside for podcasts and also using Zoom for meetings. I also use a Logitech Brio webcam.


I would always use headphones when I did podcasts so I assumed that because I could hear myself through the headphones that was connected to my Yeti, that my Yeti was working. But I realized later that I could hear myself because of the passthrough feature. When I checked my sound settings on the Mac, I noticed that the Logitech Brio was showing up under input but the Blue Yeti was not. I checked the AudioMIDI settings as well and did not see it.


I read somewhere that sometimes the G-Hub app could disrupt it so I removed the app. I dont have any other app on there related to Blue Sherpa or Logitech. But it still wont show. Not sure what else to do. Is it true that sometimes Zoom can disrupt this as well? Please help!

iMac 27″, macOS 26.7
