obs studio is open source software for video recording and live streaming
Heres how i managed to get my Yeti Blue Snowball mic working with obs studio
1 - Boot up with the external usb mic plugged in
2 - After logging in run dmesg as root to make sure the device is recognised
3 - Check /dev/dsp* for the device
In my case the Yeti Blue Snowball usb mic shows up as /dev/dsp2
4 - Un mute the volume for the devices mixer
By default the mixer for /dev/dsp2 device is muted so we need to un mute it
5 - Start pulseaudio
obs studio use pulseaudio so we need to start pulseaudio before opening obs studio,
otherwise the mic wont show up
start pulseaudio
6 - Open obs studio and add the mic as an audio input
We can now open obs studio and add a audio source and select our usb mic,
like the Yeti Blue Snowball and start recording
7 - Stop pulseaudio
We can stop pulseaudio with the following command
or the shorter version
