Hi. For some reason I get an echo, a really BAD echo when I am trying to use a microphone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

I have a Santa Cruz soundcard, Logitech Precision gaming headset,

Mute it in play control so you cant hear it, but select it in recording so they can hear it.

Mine is on microphone, if yours isn't move the checks to the correct boxes Winking

Thanks. I already had all those settings selected though.

Gonna try recording some stuff and see if the echo is there then too. It might be that the test program is enabling me hearing the mic (for testing purposes). I am not sure that is it though.. Sad

It probably is. You can test it even with things as simple as sound recorder. Also turn off the 20db mic boost and stuff like that.

Maybe you have speakers connected and there's where the echo and feedback come from, cause I never heard of feedback while using headset.

It's not the speakers. They been turned off the whole time.

I tried yesterday again and went through all suggestions here. For most people my echo was off, for one it was still there which *should* mean that the echo for him is on his side since all others dont hear it Happy

Ok, I had what seems like the same problem, when ever I would use the 'test' on any of the sound programs I had I would get a really bad echo, but when I used it in game other people couldn't hear an echo, so it was basically just when I used voice playback to test my mic that it echoed.

turn ur stereo mix volume in recording control down to minimum. that sometimes helps.
