Hi Lizzie,

First of all - friendly advice: please tell OS you are using, than a bit
more info about you audio/video equipment.

Secondly, I would say that Lez was right about speakers whether they are
USB or whatever. Speakers cannot bring any sound effects (if any effects
J). I guess what you may google-read was USB speakers, which in addition
have amplifier (good or bad) and most likely some Software to install:. So
don't rush to by new speakers yet. They will echo/reverberate with greater
quality J if problem not solved.

What to check?

1) use headphones. Connect them where currently your speakers are
connected

(not to the auxilary audio input)

Do you still have echo?

2) microphone in your settings must have ->"Mute" checked.

And move mic further from speakers (not a cure but may interfere)

3) test the above with speakers.

4) Sound effects.

- for clear experiment turn "Off" SRS WOW in WMP if it is "On" (it
is crap anyway);

- go to WMP Options Plug-Ins and uncheck (temporarily) all audio
Plug-Ins, if any;

5) Now back to Sound Effects Manager. Most audio cards and Mother
Board built-in sound chip provide you with that during driver
installation. For example, Realtek on-board installs SoundMan.exe. Have
you installed/upgraded driver yourself? If not it may be there and some
settings went wrong.

The 2 first settings to look at are Karaoke (sometimes it is separate
one) - uncheck and Sound effects - set to "no effects".

You have to look at your startup programs. If you don't have any system
guard for sniffing startup changes driver inse will install it silently.
And it may not necessarily shows up in sys tray. But one of the
indications would be: you have front/side/rare/subwoofer in your Volume
control.

That's all I can suggest for now without knowing your audio card and its'
driver.

Regards

Dear Lynx,

Thank you so much for all your help. This was so helpful because it made me
unplug the speakers. Replugging them in after trying the headphone test
made the echo go away!

And I will be sure,if I have to post again, to give OS information and
anything else that could be pertinent.

Sincerely,

Liz
