Ensure that “Software Playthrough” is OFF (not selected) in the Transport menu.

Select MME as the “host” in the device toolbar and select the Yeti as the recording and playback device.

“Blue” recommend a sample rate of 48000 Hz (48 kHz), so:

  1. Open the Windows Sound Control Panel and ensure that the Yeti is set for 48000 Hz mono for recording and 48000 Hz stereo for playback.
  2. Ensure that the Audacity “Project Rate” is set to 48000 Hz. The default project rate can be set in Preferences.

Note that in most cases you will want exported file to have a sample rate of 44100 Hz (44.1 kHz). The sample rate of exported files is taken from the “Project Rate” setting, so before exporting you should temporarily set the Project Rate to 44100 Hz.
