Hi Andy.

No, there are no customer reviews on Amazon yet, however before i do leave one 
of my own which I may well do, I’m going to give Blue the opportunity of 
assisting me with the issue.  It could very well be something the microphone 
does to eliminate unnecessary background noise or feedback, the Tiki is a very 
intelligent microphone using advanced noise cancellation and enhancement 
algorithms for both VOIP applications as well as general recording and it could 
be this technology which requires internal sound cards and other sound sources 
to be eliminated.  We wont know until I’ve spoken to Blue, but if they cant 
come up with a solution then this product is going back to Amazon.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Ibrahim - Is there anything amongst the customer reviews on Amazon that refers 
to your issue? -

  HI Andy.

  Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of that, I’m going to email Blue to see if they have a 
solution for this, their other microphone products like the Snowball, Snowflake 
and Yeti don't do this so this is the first time I’ve had this happen with any 
external USB mike I’ve used.  I’ll feed back with any news as their microphones 
are really popular with some list members I think.

  All the best, Ibrahim.

  Ibrahim - does your Samsung have a headphones socket? I'm wondering if the 
mic is cutting out onboard sound to avoid any feedback, and perhaps is intended 
to be used with headphones. Just guessing, as it does sound unusual -

    Hi Andy.

    Yes, as soon as I unplug the mike the sound comes back, I’ve checked the 
sound card and the volume is set to 100%, mute is off and the default audio 
output source is Realtek so its definitely not tampered with my sound settings.

    All the best, Ibrahim.

    Ibrahim - Does sound come back as soon as you unplug the mike? Has plugging 
in the Mike altered any of your sound card settings? -

      Hi Everyone.

      Wonder if anyone can help here.  I recently purchased the Blue 
Microphones Tiki USB microphone for my new Samsung laptop running Windows 7 
64-bit.  Whenever i plug the microphone in to my computer, all sounds including 
system and screen reader simply stop.  I have tried to figure out what the 
problem might be but with little success.  I have tried connecting an external 
sound card to restore speech while the microphone is plugged in, I have tried 
to uninstall and reinstall the device using device manager, nothing is doing.  
If anyone has a solution to this problem then please advise, otherwise this 
microphone is going straight back to Amazon.

      All the best, Ibrahim.
