    Default Microphone makes screeching sound and echoes

    Ok so I think I finally figured out why I haven't been making money on Streamate lately... Check this instagram video of what my microphone does: http://t.co/jeSw8fJrla

    Nothing fixes it! I uninstalled and reinstalled the encoder, flash player, updated my operating system, checked the drivers, and my friend tried changing stuff in bios... Nothing.

    First I thought it was the encoder or something, I thought it only happened when I tried to stream, so I restarted, only opened ManyCam, tested the mic (the built in one and the webcam one - I use a Logitech C920) and the screeching noise is already happening

    I have no idea how to fix this... I tweeted to Streamate Models and emailed Liz, but no answer yet of course, that might take a while...

    I think I've restarted like 20 times already... I uninstalled every program I downloaded in the last couple of weeks, but of course that didn't solve it either. I'm stumped!

    Is it perhaps a problem your speakers rather than mic? Does this ever happen when you are eg. Watching videos?

    Edit: ah sorry, it's just your built in mic that it happens with by the looks of the video...

    I sometimes have my speakers making a noise like that, and all I do is go into audio devices and disable and re-enable them and it does the trick.

    It has never happened before :/ I tried turning the volume way down in case that had something to do with it, but it didn't change anything

    edit: I should add that I tried using Sound Recorder and the Logitech software to record a video, and there it didn't have the strange sound. I don't think it's ManyCam either since I just tried streaming without it (just using the encoder with the cam and mic directly) and it still made that noise.

    yeah in that video, for some reason, the cam mic didn't do anything, but when I restarted and tried that again, it did it too :/ I updated ManyCam now too and tried streaming again, both with ManyCam and without, problem persists... I did notice however that it's WAY worse when I try it with ManyCam.

    this is giving me a major headache x_x

    Have you checked the sound levels of your mic? Sometimes if 'gain' is set too high it will cause distortions. Maybe your levels got messed up somehow.

    The only time I have an echo or noise problems if I am looking at my video feed on the same computer I am broadcasting.

    I think it's fixed for now... I refreshed the laptop (not reinstall) and it seems to be fixed *knocks on wood*

    I wish I knew what caused it though -_-
