Because the cable provided with the mic didn't reach through the wall to the computer, I used a coupler to connect it to another cable. And although the mic was getting power from the computer, something about connecting to another usb cable created a problem. When I took the mic to the computer and plugged in direct the mini recognized the device input. Now I have to find a 10' cable. So I think the problem is solved, although I still don't know exactly what was wrong with the coupler. It was recommended by the seller of the mic to solve the initial problem.
