Hello,
I have a nice microphone Yeti from Blue

My problem is, that this mircophone works only with a USB connection. No Jack output to "mic in". There is a jack but only to listen to the microphones sound during recording.
So do you have any idea how to send this input to my sound card Nu audio 712 ?
Is there any possibility to capture the sound in W10 to redriect it to the sound card ?

    Why? The microphone already has a sound card. It's built into the microphone. What benefit is there to plugging a sound card into a sound card? What can the NU Audio card do better? Whatever you think is lacking about the sound from the microphone, is something you will be stuck with, because it is part of the microphone and cannot be bypassed.

    Anyway, using the mic's headphone jack plugged into the NU Audio's line in seems like a solution. Why won't that work?

    Hey ty_ger07,
    My question rised up beause I want to get the best record quality as possible. And in my sound software (I use Studio One Prime) I cannot mix up different sound systems at the same time. I can only use the Nu audio sound card for all (input and output) or the Windows Sound. And the Yeti is on the windows sound system. So when I record with my Yeti I must use the line out of my computer (Realtec) too.
    I hope so you understand better the reason of my question.
    I didn't realize that such a microphone is more then only a microphone! So indeed there is no benefit to plug it in to a other sound card.

    The headphone jack of the Yeti microphone should be a amplified output compatible with the line in of the NU Audio card, yes?

    Yes I tried that way at this moment. The signal pass through and arrives at the audio card but it is very weak. I think the headphone output on the Yeti is not amplified so lot, even if one have a volume button for the headphone.

    EDIT: Or you could get one of these and turn the usb into a stereo female plug. https://www.parts-express.com/qvs-usb-c-male-to-35mm-stereo-female-audio-active-headphone-adapter--181-797
     
     
    After you plugged it in did you go and jack up all the volume sliders for windows too? Your Yeti has a headphone amp in it.... https://www.bluedesigns.com/products/yeti/#full-features
