Question: My microphone echoes forever until it blends into this weird alien sonar type noise?
Why is it doing this?
Answers:
It works like this:
Mic (sound) ----> Speakers
Speakers (sound)------> Mic
and it goes in an infinite loop.
The sound goes out from the speakers and the speakers sound goes in to the mic X infinite
It's called feedback. You feed sound into the mic, it goes through the computer and comes out of the speakers, it's picked up by the mice, goes through the computer, over and over, until it howls. You hear it on PA systems and on an analog phone handset if there's a problem. Use the headphones or turn the mic off in the Playback side of the sound mixer. (You only want it on in the Record side.)
