Very noisy recording issues with USB mic using USB adapter.

First, the equipment:

Mic- Blue Yeti USB Microphone (USB A connection type)

Adapter- USB C to USB Adapter, USB C to USB-A OTG Splitter, 3.5mm Audio Jack https://a.co/d/33aB2YY

DAW- The host is recording in GarageBand, I am editing in Logic Pro

Other tools- I have iZotope RX 10

Question: I am the producer and engineer on a podcast. Recently, one of the hosts upgraded her laptop from an ancient MacBook Pro to a newer MacBook Air, which has no 3.5mm audio jack or USB-A port for her headphones and older Blue Yeti mic.

Needless to say, the quality has been spotty. Very noisy with lots of random pops and cracks. I’ve been able to clean some of it up with iZotope and Logic’s Sound Isolation plugin, but it’s still not great.

My host lives across the country so there’s no way for me to go to their house and fix their set up, and getting an audio interface isn’t in their budget.

Is there an easy to reduce the noise this without an all new set up?

Thanks!
