Audio recording for Noob

[Selkares]

Hi all,

I'm currently having issues trying to record some audio right now. It's not a big installation for a singer or instrument, just a small thing for youtube videos on gaming, I hope it doesn't matter.

I just bought an AT 2020 (USB version) and started recording my voice. The issue is that the recording is echoing when I listen to it.
The real wierd thing is that, if I listen to my recording with my heasdset or my laptop speakers all is good, only my main computers speakers give back an echo.

I've tried recording with Fraps as I play, with the windows microphone and Audacity and there is the same problem.

I still posted a video on Youtube, most viewers don't have an issue but some are reporting some echoing...

If you guys could help it would be great!

Thanks in advance!

In the sound control panel, look for recording preferences and uncheck anything like 'what you hear'.

It's a common setting on built-in/gamer cards that causes problems with audio looping back.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.
What exactly do you mean by 'what you here'?
Could you make a small screenshot of what I have to deactivate?

Thanks
