m4 mac mini does not recognize or give power to usb microphone.

I have mackie element carbon usb-c mic that works on my imac. When i plug it into any of the 3 available usb-c ports on the m4 mini, Sequoia 15.5 does not see it in the "sound" system settings. Also the mute LED on the mic does not light up, as it does normally. I have tried several functioning usb-c cables. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mac mini, macOS 15.5
