Microphone Issue

[James Bond]

Hello guys.. I will explain the problem shortly: From some time I can hear echo from my microphone. Example: I touch the microphone and I can hear the "BZZZZZ" sound in my headphones. I am using windows 8 Pro. Any suggestions how can I fix it? It's really annoying when I play because I can hear my keyboard and mouse also.

Go to your sound options on Windows, then recording devices and right click your mouse, select listening and there should be option "Listen to this device" take that off.

It is turned off but still the same. Tried to turn it on and the sound became louder. Turned it off and still the same issue as always

Is this every game or just Gmod?

I don't think this will be related to your OS or anything, it's either a defective headset or the software.

Make sure the connections in your computer are properly plugged in too, as well as the USB.

Quick question: What headset are you using?

Its happening every game. My headphones are new: http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/SHL3000BR...headphones. Its was also happening with my old headset. Its not from the microphone because when I bought it, it was not happening. Started to happen a month ago. Thanks for replies

Make sure you have the Microphone muted in the audio creation mode or whatever mode you're using.

^ For reference. My Forte liked to unmute the mic on an earlier driver version.

Could be a PC/Hardware related problem. Like I said check the connections to your computer, something could be interfering.
