Hello, I have a Blue Yeti USB microphone that I've used for a couple years with FreeBSD. It works fine… eventually.
When I first plug it in, it is recognized, and I can choose it as a recording source, but it refuses to record anything. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but mictests.com will complain that the "track is paused" and nothing can unpause it. Maybe it can't be opened? Regardless, I found that when I had the system booted to Windows and rebooted to FreeBSD, the microphone would work. So, I somehow hit upon the idea of running usbconfig -d ugenX.Y reset And surprise, it works with no Windows! It seems that I always need to issue a reset from a cold boot or a plug-in to get the microphone to work. It will never work without the reset. The reset isn't a big problem, I normally remember to do it when I plug it in, but it does feel like something that could be automated away. I started to make a devd rule to run reset on device attach, but this won't work (with good reason because I saw that this would easily result in an endless loop). So, I thought maybe there might be some suggestions to maybe make this work on the inital plug-in. Maybe it is a bug or quirk? Is there any additional information anyone would need? Best regards, -- Trenton
