Voice Echo

[Dagmar Haiku]

Hello,

a friend of mine has a problem with voice.

When ever he talks the only thing I could hear is what he hears (I hear the sounds he hears, and even his windows sounds).

He uses Phoenix and Windows 7.

Is here anybody who knows that problem and knows how to solve it?

And maybe I should add that I do not hear him at all.

As long as his voice is turned on that green dot is active over his head but his voice isn t hearable, only that echo.

<3 Dagmar

 

 

Edit: He uses a headset

I don't use voice but it seems I remember that the voicers are very highly encouraged to use a headset.......my assumption is to prevent issues like this.  Microphones are designed to pick up sounds.........all sounds, even the undesirable sounds.  Using a headset so that you can turn off the computer sounds makes sense.  Tell your friend to turn off the computer sounds or, better, get a good quality headset with noise cancelling.

He should try some of the steps on this page, especially making sure that the correct input and output devices are set in Preferences.
