Hear own voice from the computer while using Microphone.

From the issue description, I understand that you hear your own voice when you speak through the microphone. I need some more information to assist you in a better way.


1.      Is it a laptop or a desktop computer?
2.      What is the make and model of the computer?
3.      Is it an inbuilt Microphone or external Microphone?


The most likely cause of an echo is not even caused by your microphone. If the people you are speaking to have microphones of their own and are receiving your voice through speakers, their microphones can pick up the sound from their speakers and send it back to you. An easy test is to ask that your friends momentarily turn their speakers off. If your friends' speakers are causing the problem, ask that they move further from the speakers, reduce their volume or use headphones instead. You may also follow these steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue.


Method 1: Disable other recording devices which are not in use.

a.       Press Windows key + X.

d.      Click on Sound.
e.       Click on Recording tab.
f.        Right click on any device listed that is not your Microphone and select "Disable" from the pop-up menu.


Method 2: Some headsets deliberately send some of the user's voice back to the headset/Computer in order to help users know how loud they will sound to others. You may try to disable listen to this device option and check.

b.      Click on Control Panel.
c.       Click on Hardware and Sound.
d.      Click on Sound.
