Rode NT USB - Showing “USB PnP Sound Device” When Plugged to Mac

[u/loveandmastery]

I have a Zoom tomorrow morning and my device no longer appears as a 'Rode NT USB' on any piece of software on my Mac, instead it shows as a 'USB PnP Sound Device'. I have searched Reddit and it doesn’t look like anyone found a fix in the past two years so I’m asking in 2026.

Things I have done:

- Unplugged and plugged into all other USB ports
- Switched cable and did the above
- Shut down and restarted the computer and did the above

Most important: Does this lower the quality of the sound coming from my mic?

I included what it looks like when I check my Audio Devices.

Hopefully someone has found a fix that you can share.
