SOLUTION TO YOUR ECHO : was Fing around with it for 2 hours. Go to playback devices, your main output device, porperties, levels, on "sidetone" click on sound icon to mute it. DONE !
Thumbs up to help others.

You're amazing! Thank you for this. I was confused for over a year. I had almost given up. 🙌🏿💜

I have my mic hooked up set to listen to the cable input and everything my mic hears loops back to my headset?? I can hear every tiny sound from me clicking to typing at least on the desktop? Could I just unplug my mic and people would still be able to listen to the audio? Or is that to be expected?

[yeetusdelete]

For those who can still hear yourself, you can mute the headset as it is show as an app in the 'volume mixer' setttings

My issue: When I use OBS to stream my Virtual Camera (This is for movie nights in the discord) it doesnt pick up ANY sound from OBS. I was told (after googling) to use VB-Cable and change my microphone output to VB-Cable. I was like "Oh, okay cool i've done this before" however when doing so, the movie's audio is distorted or only picking up one track of the audio such as dialogue but no music. This is extremely frustrating. Every video I watch just assumes everything is going to work fine. Can you please make a very detailed video on streaming to discord via OBS and getting the full Audio to work?

I use my laptop speaker but when i set it as communication device and the VB Input as default device, i cannot hear anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Ssofaa]

[CubeyWubey]

Does anyone know if this works on roblox voice chat? I've been trying to find out because some people say it works and others don't.

Wow. Cool! Solve my issue with old soundcard mic and some apps on PC. Thank you!

I'm not sure why, but it seems like the sound gradually drops until it's heavily muffled.

It begins perfectly fine, but then it begins to drop and drop in quality, until it's barely audible.

[danteherko]

Thank you for this one actually got it working for me

[arya_jahan]

Thank you good sir! Now I can get my lights to sync to the music 🔥

[AurlKovalski]

Great, , thanks for this tuto it saved me !!

[BreadAndEggsBen]

so it takes the audio from the virtual speaker and makes it so that the microphone is outputting the sound from the virtual speaker?

[aptly.]

okay, so i did the step in 3:41 where you make your microphone listen to the input, (i don't have headphones by the way, ) and after i clicked apply it loops my microphone input. can you help?

[averymarly]

your echo solutions are completely useless. disliked

[chdisis]

How do I fix it to where I can hear myself?
