I have a Blue Yeti microphone that has had an on board component fail (lack of audio out and extreme heat from the chip in question). Based on some tracing it likely has something to do with the 3.5 millimeter headphone output jack and the volume knob.

The text on the chip appears to be AIF BAN or A1F BAN. I do not see any obvious manufacturer markings.

"AIF" could be MAX97220AETE+, which is a headphone / line amplifier chip.

Perhaps compare the traces with the pin-out to verify that it is indeed this chip.
