well i got a new motherboard a ASUS A8N SLI SE and i have my headphones pluged in the back. When i talk to my m8 on teamspeak he gets a echo off me and i do when i test my mic using it's in build options i can also hear my self speaking into the mic on my headphones as well normaly . if i mute my mic in sound volume i can't hear the mic but then the mic does't work any ideas what could be the problem i an't sure what the problem could be

Thanks for any help

update: after muting my mic in options again and testing it in teamspeak if i keep the push to talk button down it starts off quiet and then i getting a echo slowly get loader and loader

also the mic does't respond to me tlaking thou it on normal voice but if i start playing music i get it works but still a echo

Dude! Or should I say, Geez! the reason why you get this feedback or echo is usually becuse your mic is too close to your speakers or your speakers are too loud.

What you say comes out the speakers and goes back in the mic, then comes out the speakers again and goes back in the mic... and so on, try turning down the volume on speakers or the mic gain.

If thise doesn't help let us know and we'll go to plan B

I have a similar echo problem (although it only happens when I use programs that rely on the mic like teamspeak, Xfire and yahoo messenger) interestingly it only happens in yahoo messenger during a conference call and not one on one conversation.

I can talk into my mic in windows (desktop only) with it unmuted and I can hear myself speak, no echos no problems. When I use one of the programs mentioned above, it appears as though anything that can be heard from the speakers get picked up on the mic. Its not a case of the mic too close to the speakers causing feedback, as I have unplugged (yes no connection to the pc) the mic and then adjusted the volume to get that little beep. This beep then echos in the speakers (stop the application that uses the mic and it doesn't echo.

This is really strange. The only thing I can think it might be apart from the AC97 chip itself is the fact that the front panel audio connectors for the mic and speakers share the same ground connection.

Any clues as to how to fix this would be great.
