We never found out which Windows. Switch the Yeti to Cardioid (heart or kidney shaped pattern). Don't try to use stereo or the other modes. I checked on another computer and as far as I can tell it did work, although I'll need to check again to make sure. Another Windows computer the same version as...

You should not be directly converting to MP3. You should export from Audacity in high quality WAV and use that for archive and production.
