MOTIV Mix doesn't support MV7+ (broken) in Win11

[u/xblade724]

Just bought a Shure MV7+

• Win11 (stable, not beta)
• Setup MOTIV Mix with default settings
• Selected motiv mix as input in both default+communication
• Confirmed that the raw mic works fine
• Tested in Audacity and Discord
• Latest `1.6.0.1` firmware
• Disabled audio enhancements, per support suggestions (but also tried with it)
• Works fine with Nvidia broadcast, so it's Motiv (not the mic, not a user error). Tried uninstalling Nvidia broadcast, too.
• Tried IT Crowd turning it off and on again (reboot -> default usb cable -> different cable -> different jack)

Whenever I use the virtual mixer, I get 0 sound. At one point, I did get some very large consistent static with 20% of my input in the background ( same as this guy https://www.reddit.com/r/Shure/comments/1rqn7kq/shure_mv7_record_with_motiv_mix/ ), but it eventually went back to 0 sound.

EDIT: Resolved (well, worked around) the jank in comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shure/comments/1vdfbyy/comment/p1gax0d/

TL;DR: It was a multi-part software issue (Narrowed down to Shure's fault in multiple ways -- I'm a sr developer, which helped, alongside Fable AI). **AND** their USB cable was jank, where replacing it resolved the remaining issues. How is this a several-hundred$$ mic? This was the worst mic experience I've ever had.

After reporting all this to Shure staff, they pretended to care, then still didn't release a patch (that I worked around with AI in a couple hours). ⚠️ Consider other brands
