This is not an ideal setup, but it'll be cheaper and it will work.Ī note on ground loop isolators, it's a pretty simple concept and there's no real reason to spend any real cash on a 3.5mm ground loop isolator. Your second option is to purchase a 3.5mm ground loop isolator, and route it between your yeti mic listen jack and your mic input on your sound card. The downside is that a USB to USB isolator will cost 2-3x more then your other option. This would allow you to run the mic through USB as intended. Some require an outside power input, others have built in power transfer.
You can pickup a USB to USB ground loop isolator. Should you still experience electrical noise, you need to look for a ground loop isolator. Still, it doesn't hurt to try it and see if the issue persists. However, chances are you will hear quite a bit more electrical noise in this config. While this isn't an ideal setup, it will work. Finally, you can route a 3.5mm audio cable from the listen jack (Base of the mic) into your appropriate soundcard mic jack.If you find a quiet jack, then it's an instance of a poorly shielded USB jack. Test your Yeti in every USB jack to see if the issue persists.
Remember, in an ideal setup you would use minimal gain and speak from an appropriate distance. Ensure you have no additional software gain settings turned up.Technically, if you are experiencing a ground loop issue you would not hear buzz/hiss in this format unless you have the gain turned up or have the mic situated at an inappropriate distance. In Cardioid setting, with minimal gain, speak into the mic and listen for the issue. Route headphones into listen jack at the base of your Yeti.Ensure your electrical outlet is properly grounded.
It sounds like you are suffering from a ground loop.Ī few things to check for prior to purchasing any additional equipment.
