I've tried the other mic setting switches (on the yeti) surround, stereo, interview, etc I've even tried uninstalling and removing my SoundBlaster soundcard, and only using the MB built-in chip, even though that should have nothing to do with the issue as it's a USB mic. Tried different USB ports (both 2.0 and 3.0 ports, front and back of machine) Moved other electronics and chords away from the mic and usb cable It happens regardless of how close I am to the mic

I stream using OBS, but this problem is also observed in Audacity recordings. I noticed the audio of my voice has a pop, tick or crackle randomly every few seconds. It has met my needs, but I have started streaming more story-based games that involve a lot of reading. The issue: I use a Blue Yeti microphone for streaming. Hello r/twitch !!! This seemed like the best place to ask this question and I can't find anything definitive online that has helped me resolve my issue.
