Solanum needs help with his sound.

['BEANIE]

Posting this for him beause his internet is being dumb.

 

SOLANUM: "Okay, SO. Whenever someone I talk in ventrilo and have music playing or someone else talks at the same time it echos EXTREMLY loudly. Already tried pretty much everything I could think of. The thing is even when my mic is unplugged or muted it echos. Suggestions."

 

 

SOLANUM: Basically whatever plays through my headphones echos through my mic.

SOLANUM: Somehow.

Geez... umm... if his headphones are too loud (non-noise reduction) you might still be able to hear them loudly. Like ear buds. That would cause a reverb... but, if it unplugged that doesn't make any sense... maybe he has a bad case of tinnitus? It sounds like either a sound card problem, or someone on Vent is being a jerk.

Does he have a creative soundcard (x-fi/soundblaster etc), does he use a USB or audio-jack mic with his headphones, and does he have ventrilo set to "What U hear" or something similar?

That is a GREAT solution. That would make sense. Damn you Creative for your innovative products!

Check the "playback devices" audio levels. make *SURE* you *MUTE* the mic and line in volumes. if they are not in this list, add them in properties, and then mute them. you want to have only one unmuted in the "recording devices" volume page.
