Yeti Nano flashes yellow in Ubuntu Studio 20.04

First of all excuse any bad english since it's not my native language.

I just installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 and plugged in my Yeti Nano Microphone. It picks up sound just fine but as soon as I try to play sound over the integrated external sound card of the microphone the button starts flashing yellow and I can't hear a thing. I've done some research and found out that it could be due to a sampling rate mismatch. But I have no clue how to fix that. Sometimes when I use Spotify it works but as soon as I play audio via Firefox for example it stops. To make it more confusing is the fact that it worked before on one other distro (Linux Mint 19). But eventually it stopped working there to. I tried reinstalling Mint but that doesn't fix the problem. I don't know why it stopped working and I haven't got it to work on any other distro even arch based ones like Manjaro. I have one last idea what could have caused the problem but I don't know how that could have effected it. It stopped working on Mint around the time I installed windows in a dualboot. I kept the install since then. It would be very weird if Windows caused this to happen because I can't explain how they could interfere in such a way but maybe that's a starting point for you all.

Any help is very appreciated since I need to use this output because my bult-in audio is useless.

Many thanks in advance!


Yeti nano only deal with 48kHz.

You have to set your default setting as 48kHz and not 44.1kHz. You can add this line :

default-sample-rate = 48000

in ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf for local setting or in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf for global setting (needs to be root). then restart pulseaudio with

$ pulseaudio -k

(see https://medium.com/@gamunu/enable-high-quality-audio-on-linux-6f16f3fe7e1f)

PS: to be more precise, since default alternate-sample-rate is 48kHz in pulse, it explains why it works when the source is already 48kHz (see https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/pulseaudio/pulse-daemon.conf.5.en.html)
