Alienware 17 R5 Microphone Echo

Hey guys,

I've been told by literally all of my friends that I have microphone echo coming from my laptop, regardless of whether I plug in my own headset or use the built-in microphone. I haven't been to concerned about it, however, last night I was trying to do a voice-over on Movavi video editor and it wouldn't detect the built-in microphone. I plugged in a Yeti and tried using that but the feedback and echo was terrible. Anyone else having issues with their R5? Bit disappointed because my configuration was $5900... (Australian dollars)

    Hi @TheFraze,

    Reinstall the audio driver, make sure enhancements are off and microphone is set not to listen to itself.

    Let me know!

    Hi Eimy!

     

    How do I make sure the microphone is set not to listen to itself? I'm trying really hard to get the microphone to work properly but it's still bugging out :/
