[PLUG] Yeti microphone not being recognized

[Eric Lucas via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I have a Yeti "blue" microphone (or is it "blue yeti"? no idea.) 

When I plug it into my Dell laptop running Kubuntu 20.04 it's recognized and it "just works". 

My workstation is an HP Z440. It's running Kubuntu 20.10. 

When I plug the mic into the workstation it does not show up in the pavucontrol app and it's not available for any application. 

I suspected my USB hub might be the issue so I plugged it directly into a USB port on the computer. Same result. 

Here is the relevant output of dmesg:

[1327438.618327] usb 3-10: new full-speed USB device number 29 using xhci_hcd

Any ideas about why this isn't working?

I have yet to reboot so I'll try that next - although if I wanted to reboot every time something changed I'd just run Windows :-D

Thanks,
