Ok, I do have a Blue Snowball and I've been installing the program, but I really confused on how you open it? I've tried googling it for Windows 10 but I can't figure out how to open it from the guide

What are you trying to open?

the minidump or the ASIO4ALL link?

if minidump, you need special software which I don't have but a few here do, unless you really want to do it yourself its easier just to upload it and share the link

The ASIO4ALL thing is an exe file, you run it like normal as it is an installer.

I know its a noob question but the ASIO4ALL. I downloaded and ran it but nothing really happened

Did you unplug the mic before and replug it in after installing it? Perhaps restart the PC?

I don't actually have the microphone, I just found that solution on a Microsoft site and it has worked for most people up until now.

I got the installer to run but is anything supposed to happen after it is installed? Like there is no program or visible change. It hasn't crashed but I wouldn't have expected it to yet anyways
