Echo problem Linux/Windows clients

[Juanisan]

I am on Linux talking with a person on windows. Actually with many tests we found it doesnt matter what platform you are on so it must be a global problem for our UT clan.

With 2 of us conversing I can hear a faint echo of myself once when I see the other persons chat button light up. When another joins in channel the echoes get worse. We havent tested it past 3 yet. It sounded pretty bad.

It is a hosted Windos server .17 and we are all .17 clients.

This happens with all codecs. We have a clan practice Wed 9/25 and we are gonna test more ppl onboard.

make sure that who ever is echoing your voice back (see the lights) has his voice activation high enough. If it is to low, it will trigger not only on his voice, but all sounds in his room.

Also, some windows drivers (maybe linux drivers too) capture the soundcard output, and use it for input. (so everything outputed on that soundcard is echo'd to all connected clients. There should be an option somewhere to turn that off

I guess youre using alsa with some good soundcard. Alsa has a setting
"Wave Cap" (best seen in alsamixer), make sure that that is set to 0, otherwise you will loop all Sound that is coming via teamspeak,
