    I just plugged a microphone in and one site did show the audio level is coming out of the mic when I speak so mic works. Should I hear it out of my speakers. I want to correct the pronunciation on a web site.

    Audio playback from microphone to headset - I want to hear myself speak

    Looking for assistance this.

    I cannot hear myself on my headphones when I speak into my headset. The microphone is a USB device and the headset is plugged into the computer through the 3.5mm jack. Both devices are high quality, and otherwise function normally. However, I am now working
    from home and doing a lot of VTC sessions. When I cannot hear myself speak I feel like no one else can either and it throws me off. I fly as a hobby so I am used to being able to hear myself on the radio when speaking.

    I have tried several methods suggested by Windows help, but so far no success.

    Thanks,

    James

    Hearing headphone microphone through headphone speakers

    I have got some Sennheiser 4.40BT headphones. When I connect them to my laptop (Windows 10) through bluetooth, then enable the microphone, all sound that goes through the microphone gets relayed through the headphone speakers. It makes everything sound very echoey and I can hear the smallest of sounds really loudly (it's like I've got a super power). If I connect the headphones to my laptop through a cable I don't get this issue.

    How can I stop the sound going through the microphone being relayed to the speakers?

    Having to unplug microphone to hear playback.

    Hi Mark,

    There are several audio inputs on your PC depending on your motherboard. It is possible that you are plugging your
    microphone in the jack which supports audio in and audio out (same as phone jacks) and is set as your playback device. When this happens, you will not hear the audio out because the audio signal is sent into the microphone. Simply unplug your
    microphone and move it to the microphone jack and you will be able to hear the playback sound.

    If you are sure that your microphone is connected to the microphone jack, it is possible that your playback device is being disabled by your microphone. To enable/change your playback device, kindly follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Volume icon on the lower-left corner of your screen.
    • Click Playback devices, right-click your speaker (or any preferred playback device), and click Enable.

      Note: If you cannot see your preferred playback device, right-click on your current playback device and click
      Show Disabled Devices.

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.
