I am having this very problem, outlined on the FAQ. See below. The issue is this, I cannot for some reason, uncheck the stereomix box. Any help/Suggestions?
From the FAQ, my issue is (b):
There basicly are two ways echos can occur:
a) Sound from your speakers/headphones being recorded by your microphone.
b) Your sound driver recording all sound that you hear for you.
Now, 'which one do I have' you might be asking yourself...You can quite easily find out, just turn your speakers/headsets off (volume = 0%), and ask your mates if you are still echoing. If you are not, you got (a), else (b).
Howto fix (a):
This type of echo is nearly impossible to fix completely, but you can minimize it greatly if you follow a few general points:
- Switch your speakers off when TeamSpeak is on, use a Headset to hear.
- Use Headphones that shield well, meaning they prevent as much sound as possible from being audible to the outside.
- Try and keep your Microphone as far away as possible from the Headset (or more general, the sound-source).
- Lower the Volume of the sound-source
Howto fix (b):
These echos are produced by your sound-drivers, they should be configurable by your driver too (its not a bug, its a feature). From windows users I have often heard there is a checkbox in one of the recording menus called "what you hear", or "stereomix". If you uncheck this, the driver-echo should be gone. As windows is *insert*curse*, there doesnt seem to be a way to change this on all machines - it depends on your driver/OS combination, you just have to search around. Good luck.
