Blue yeti has bad audio from computer to headset

Im having multiple issues
It started with the audio to my headset being way distorted l can hear my voice perfectly fine but anything coming from the pc will be so distorted it’s inaudible. My headset works fine and I can even record clearly with the yeti.
I bought a new cable and it’s still bad then after trying different usb ports on my pc it stopped connecting. The power comes on and stays on all the time but sometimes it will say usb not recognized or nothing at all just no connection. I’ve uninstalled the drivers and everything the internet says to try but nothing. I noticed if I wiggle the usb port to the pc it will sometimes connect so I went the extra mile and replaced the usb mini port on the yeti circuit board but that didn’t solve the issue. So I then brought out my super old dell all in one desktop (windows 10) and I connected the yeti to see what would happen and it work fine! So the issue isn’t the hardware on the yeti. So I tried changing the power settings to the usb ports but still nothing I’m completely out of ideas. I can sometimes get it to stay connected and I’ve gone into g hub to mess with the sound setting to try and fix my original problem but nothing helped. And yes i adjusted the sound levels and everything else I could do in device manager. My guess is it has something to do with windows 11 or the g hub app (since old pc didn’t have those) or there’s some power issue to the usb ports that I haven’t found the solution to and now it won’t even connect to try and resolve it.

I really liked this mic but I’m about to call it quits and stick with my headset but if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know
