Hi all New on this forum

Ok i guess i shuld just start explaining with wat i have in this new Tower i constructed a few days ago:

MotherBoard : Gigabyte M61PME-S2

Proc : AMD Athlon X2 5200+ 2.7 GB

HDD: Seagate 120GB SATA II

RAM: DDR2 Kingston 2 Gb (800MHZ)

Windows XP Service Pack 3  (I fixed the sound problem with this)

Well thats the main gist of it till i get more stuff later.... Anyways My prob is this...
On a Voice Chatting Community, in this case Second Life, My friends tell me they have a Problem with me putting it on "hands Free". The Claim they can Hear them selves "loop" back with there voice, almost like if my MICROPHONE was against the speaker.... well it wasnt, i was wearing headphones at the time :S....  Yet when my friends speak to each other, this problem does not occur, its solely when i have it on Hands Free.... Does anyone know of a setting that im Missing
The Mic i have is built-in to a Acteck AW-550 Webcam.

I tried the CHAT room and they said they werent ABLE to help so i came here.... I hope Someone can help because im sure this will affect someone to the point of seeing a Pyschiatrist thinking "they hear voices" =D .... have you tried experimenting with then sensitivity of the microphone?Yes, that's a good point. Fortunately for you, Brenny, this isn't really a hardware problem. What's happening is you are getting audio FEEDBACK. When your friends talk, your speakers play that, but then the microphone picks up what the speakers are playing, so then you're friends hear what they said. Especially if it's a webcam, it is probably right next to the speakers. I suggest that you try ONLY using a headset/headphones as your listening device, making sure you are turning off your speakers.Additionally, some Sound card driver control panels have "feedback cancellation" options- for example my X-Fi control panel has this checkbox in the microphone setup; as does the integrated audio on my laptop.

It won't completely eliminate the problem- but it will make much less noticable.
