feedback from mic to speakers

    Using creative inspire t7700 speakers on a soundstorm onboard soundcard, any noise picked up by the mic is being sent out on the speakers, and if I turn the volume up to high it makes an ear splitting, bassy, feedback whine.

    Looked everywhere for some kind of option so that the speakers only output from the system rather then everything, but cant find it...

    Any help?

    The key here is getting the right balance between you microphone and your speakers.

    In control panel, you can adjust the microphone and speaker volume. There is most likely a boost feature for the microphone, if you unclick this, it should get rid of the whine, but, anything recorded with the microphone won't be too loud.

    So, start off with both the microphone and the speakers down low. Gradually increase both of them, you will soon find the right settings for both. Or you could just disable (mute) the microphone.

    I suppose muting the mic except when it's needed is out of the question? Or how about throwing in a setof earphones for when the mic has to be used.

    Alternatively, move the mic further away from the speakers if possible, or get one of those headset microphones, they're pretty good.

    I used to use a sb audigy 2 ZS and never had the same problem, whatsoever :(

    I'll try disabling mic boost

    In theory you should be able to mute the microphone, but leave it set as the recording device. What does the mixer look like for that onboard sound?

    With some chips/cards you can mute what you're recording from. As long as you leave it as the recording option it should still record it (just not play it back over the speakers).
