USB Mic not working with Pi Zero W

My new Mini USB Mic from the Pimoroni store (btw thanks! Speedy despatch!) isn’t working with my raspberry pi zero W. Tried doing the arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd /tmp/recording.wav, copied the file over to my laptop to play but it didn’t do anything. It shows up in arecord -l but the file is silent. Tried using alsamixer to up the level but still nothing. I’ve got the mic plugged in to a 3-port USB hub with ethernet and powered by a Sony tablet USB charger (5V 1.5A). I tried plugging it in to my Windows 10 machine but that didn’t work either from settings. You can see it there as a microphone but can’t test it. There’s no light on the mic. Thoughts? Do I have a faulty mic?
