USB Microphone Static

This is a problem which I've had in my PCSpecialist since I got it in 2011.. Normally I would use a USB Headset, such as those of Logitech and Turtle Beach, and I could cure the static by plugging the USB into a usb phone charger and putting the 3.5mm jacks in my computer.

But now I have a Blue Yeti. It is completely USB and therefore relies on its connection. When I record audio, through whatever program on THIS computer, there is static. Does anyone have a solution? I might try putting it in a different computer to test if it is the computer and not the microphone. Anyone got a fix though?

Any help would be great!

The hub arrived and it hasn't solved the problem, instead has now added a charging like noise to the recording.. anyone got any other solutions?

Sorry to hear that. I'm out of ideas here, maybe someone else will have some ideas though.

The reason I asked about whether its a hum/or hiss was as I was reading about mains hum - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum#Tone

There's two different tones on there, but as you say the hub didn't help at at all. Have you/can you tried the mic on another system and see of you have the same problem?

Nope not really.. I've just been playing around with the settings a bit and I had the levels before at 20-25 and the gain at the lowest setting, I then just tried the levels at a lower number, but with a higher gain and it elminated the noise pretty much :)
