Follow these 3 steps to fix, Blue Yeti not detected on MacBook M1:
STEP 01: Remove Applications (00:41 )
Use AppCleaner to remove G-Hub, Sherpa and BlueVoice.
Download App Cleaner: https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
STEP 02: Terminal Commands (01:25 )
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/Audio*
sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`
STEP 03: Remove Files (02:30)
MacHD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/LogiGamingAudio.driver
(remove anything related to G-Hub, Sherpa, BlueVoice or Zoom)
Also, remove these files:
MacHD/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
MacHD/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Restart.
If those fail to restore your Yeti mic, try one of these USB Mini cables:

Alternate Mic Options:
These mics provide equal or better sound quality than the Yeti at a fraction of the cost. The Fifine sounds identical to the Shure MV7+, and I highly recommend it for its hardware gain dial and sound quality.
*1. Fifine USB/XLR mic*, $44

*2. Shure MV7+ Podcast Dynamic Microphone*, $299

I was able to get it to work on my M3 Macbook Pro (2023) model today after following all the directions ...except after reinstalling GHub it still didn't work.
I noticed in the macOS privacy settings that GHub was also requesting access to kernel extensions.
After rebooting and holding down the power button, went into Recovery Mode, Utilities in the menu bar, Security settings, then enable kernel extensions for identified applications, rebooted, and then my Yeti X appeared both in GHub and macOS sound settings.
