Solved New CPU/Motherboard - Microphone doesn't work (sometimes?)

Apologies for the non descriptive title, this issue is bizarre (and infuriating).

I have two USB condensor microphones - Blue Yeti and NZXT Capsule. On my X570 motherboard, they worked fine, albeit with dropouts occasionally (sometimes they'd just not pickup any sound until I unplugged and plugged them back in and the new Capsule was worse for it).

I upgraded to AM5, and even since upgrading to Windows 11 it's been impossible to use.

When the microphone is plugged in, and I join a Discord voice channel, despite the correct output devices being set as the default device, and messed around with in the settings of Discord itself, the audio comes out of my monitor speaker instead of my headphones. However, my microphone does work - it picks up my voice.

When I unplug the microphone, I can hear Discord again. When I plug in the microphone, it stops working. If I disconnect from the voice channel, and disable/re-enable my mic, it works again. I know this is not an issue with Discord, as it's reporting the same thing through Windows.

My Blue Yeti works without any issue.

The only thing that I could possibly point to is that sometimes I get an error that the 'USB Controller Resources Exceeded', I have searched this and my results are that my audio and output devices are demanding too high a quality. Both my DAC and microphone are 24bit devices, my DAC is set to 44.1KHz output range and the microphone doesn't go any lower.

The issue was solved by... Pluggin the microphone into a USB 3.2 port instead of the USB 2 ports on the back I/O panel. This thread informed me that it was my DAC being 24bit as well as the microphone. I couldn't reduce the bit-depth, they are inherently 24bit.
