Windows 10: Microphone Feedback loop

My microphone has a feedback loop coming from all audio on the computer, any audio played will be registered and played on the microphone, this happens with speakers, headphones, and even with no audio-playing device.This only happens with the Realtek drivers, all microphones from cameras and internal work fine, its just the one Realtek one.I have the latest updates to everything, from windows to the drivers and it doesn't work.

Feedback Loop on Sound - Microphone always listening

Pretty new Win 10 installation Pro Version 19045. My sound in/out devices are a set of speakers and a webcam with microphone. I only need the webcam microphone on Skype, microphone on search via Chrome, sometimes phone calls on Google Voice. However, the microphone is always on and creates a feedback loop when I turn the speakers higher. Speakers are turned away from the mirophone. I just reset the System > Sound > Advanced Sound options without success - cannot figure out which setting is wrong. Thanks

 

My headset's built in microphone's not working

Hello Mikkel,

We just want to confirm, are you referring to feedback loop? If yes, note that you may hear feedback from your PC speakers if
one or more of the the following conditions are true:

• You increase the Microphone Boost option.
• The speakers are too close to the microphone.
• The speaker volume is turned up so as the microphone hears the speakers.
• You have a very sensitive microphone.

You may be able to reduce or eliminate the feedback you are hearing by trying the following steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Open the Hardware and Sound setting.
• Open the Sound setting.
• Select the Recording tab and double-click your microphone you have selected as the default recording device.
• Click on the Level tab and reduce the Microphone Boost setting. Note: This setting may not be available for some microphones.

You may also be able to reduce the feedback loop by selecting the Enhancement tab in the microphone's properties page and enabling one of the following options:

• Enable Noise Suppression
• Enable Acoustic Echo Cancellation

Note: These settings are audio hardware and software specific and may not be available for all microphones.

Let us know if that worked out for you.
