Compatibility Concerns

First, make sure the microphone is connected directly to a USB port on your console or computer, rather than through a USB hub. Sometimes using a USB hub can cause problems with device recognition.
If you are still experiencing issues, check online forums like Reddit for any potential solutions or workarounds that others may have found helpful.
