Hello! I have an issue that I can't resolve myself. So I came here hoping that somebody who knows better could help me. Oh, and apologies in advance if i mess something up - english is not my native language 
So, here's what happened. I decided to change my old logitech mic-on-a-stick that I was using for more than 9 years now. It finally began to give up. I wanted to get something better than default stick-microphone for PC. I made a brief research and found the Samson Meteorite model in the internet. According to what I've read about it - it's compact and good, worth it's cost. So I ordered it.
It arrived today, I plugged it in... and then I realized that I forgot one big thing - USB microphones do not have the same options as analog ones - I'm talking about echo cancellation, directional signal (i'm not sure how that one is called in english) and stuff like this.
So in the end - even though the microphone has good quality of recording, it captures every little bit of sound that comes out of my speakers. And before you suggest that - I have stereo mixer turned off every time.
The MAIN usage for this microphone is supposed to be voice-chat that I'm frequently using. But w/o a way to block sound from my speakers it is impossible to use.
I googled and found that apparently the only way to fix it according to what I found is to get the Samson Sound Deck software. And Samson has the audacity to charge me money for it! Even thought I bought their product already!
Unfortunately, even if I want to buy it - I can't! For some reason their site is telling me that billing adress is not the same as cardholder's (I tried several times with the same result).
Not to mention, I highly doubt that such basic-looking software will fix all my problems. It's looking more like a money-grab.
So here I am! I hope there is a solution, otherwise I just got myself a good device for capturing my voice if I will want to sing or something. I can't use it for anything else right now.
