People keep hearing themselves through my headphones.

Hello,
Just before I explain my problem, I got to say that I have tried EVERYTHING that I could find in google.
Suprisingly nothing helped.
I have the following sound card: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity.
Heaphones: SteelSeries 4H.
Windows 7
The problem is that whenever I use my microphone ( Ventrilo, Mumble, Skype, etc... ) people keep telling me that they can hear themselves through my headset.
So whenever I play a video game of some sort, people report that they hear all the game sounds.
Same goes to music and basically everything that I hear in my headphones is being transfered to my microphone.
If I plug in the sound card the computer came with ( some kind of asus sound card ) People do not hear themselves through me.
I had this issue for a long time now. It has the same problem on XP, so windows is not the issue.
Hopefully someone can FINALLY help me with this crap.
Thanks!

It is a very odd problem indeed. I had the same soundcard, and had some problems with it.. nothing like that though. It really sounds like the microphone records with a "what u hear" setting.. Not sure what to do to fix it though :P Try lowering the settings on your soundcard and just have the windows 7 microphone settings on maybe? Or the opposite.

People can hear themselves when they call me

I have a 8900 Curve which I connect via Bluetooth to mt car kit. However when people phone me they can hear themselves talking. This didn't happen on my previous phone. I presume that the microphone on the blackberry is still picking up sound as well as the car kit. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I have same problem and so does my gf. We have the Nokia Bluetooth car kit with BB C8900. I don't think it has anything to do with microphone on BB as I have tried moving the BB away from where I am when speaking. I turned the volume down on the actaul car kit itself. It does not get rid of the problem, but seems to help.

I cannot hear music through my headphones ?

Ever since i downloaded Itunes I cannot hear my music through my headphones only speakers and all my audio i download or add to my laptop goes through Itunes what do I do ????

If they don't help, it's likely to be an issue that means the iPod needs repair.
Is it still under warranty?

I hear only through my headphones

Hello everybody,
Since I updated my iPhone 5 , I'm not able to hear other people on the normal mode. In order to make a phone call, I have to hear other people while in speaker but they don't hear me in this mode. If I want them to hear me, I have to put the normal mode. If I use my headphones with built-in mic, I'm able to hear and be heard.

To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, without using the latest backup afterwards. If it works after that, restore from the latest backup again.

If setting up as new device does not work, you'll have to get your phone serviced by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store, or by contacting Apple Support:

Ipod Nano 2Gb Plays music but I cannot hear it through any headphone jacks!

I can play the music and it shows that the time is elapsing but I can't hear anything! What is going on? I don't understand. Any advice will help! Thank You!
PS Its a 2GB Refurbished Ipod Nano
Thanks again!

If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store or Apple authorized service agent is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

P2P Audio Users Hear Themselves in Headsets

I'm encountering a problem where two users with headsets engaged in private audio chat in P2P can each hear themselves in their headsets as they talk.
If one user mutes the incoming audio stream, they can no longer hear themselves talk, but obviously can't hear the other user talk either. It almost seems like the incoming audio stream is somehow being combined with the outgoing stream in some way.
The microphone volume settings in Flash and the OS do seem to affect the amount of signal feedback and with enough adjustments (in the OS volume controls), it can usually be made imperceptible.
Both Echo Suppression and Microphone loopBack don't seem to affect the problem.

Hi,
Take a look at how the audio is pubishing in the room.
If your broadcasting to everyone then people might hear themselves talk.
If you set up the audioSubscribers to the ID of the other person (audioSubcriber.publisherIDs = [LCCS ID of other user] ) that should make sure that only the other person is hearing you.
just make sure that you dont subscribe to yourself.
I dont think this would change if its P2P, but we had the same problem and that fixed it.

People hearing themselves talking when on the phone with me

Everytime someone calls me or I call them, the person can hear themselves when talking to me. They hear themselves repeating what they just said to me and I have looked in my phone for a filter or something to turn it down, but all I know is how to turn the volume of the other person talks. Please help me.

Cannot hear sound through headphones when running mainstage- Mackie 1220i interface

I am currently running Logic Studio with my MacBook Pro with a Mackie 1220i mixer/interface. I can hear the processed sound fine on the mic channel and the guitar channel when the headphones are plugged into the mixer but I get no sound when the headphones are plugged into the MacBook Pro. I am trying to set up a concert in Mainstage. Suggestions?

If you want to hear through the headphones of macbook pro you should change,
in preferences of manstage,
Go to audio
Audio output from Mackie,

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

Is there a way to stream your video to your apple tv and the audio stays playing on your iPhone so that you can run and hear the movie through the headphones but watch on the tv?

I want to be able to run on my treadmill and watch a movie on my apple tv but hear the audio through my headphones on my iphone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, that's not possible.

I can't hear music/sound through my headphones.

Hi
Basically. I have the iPhone earbuds.... when I plug them into my iMac I can hear Skype calls through them no problem. If I turn iTunes on and play music... I hear nothing. If iTunes is playing when I answer a call, I have my conversation and end the call... the music plays briefly through the earbuds then stops. I can't hear anything through them except when I'm having a skype conversation.
I am currently running osx Maverick. This wasn't a problem before, but now that I have updated, it's happening and it's really frustrating. I also option clicked the sound icon in the bar and it's showing my headphones are connected. Please help?

I figured it out.
When you plug them in, you have to adjust the volume directly from the headphones or you don't hear anything. So use the little control on your apple headset and the sound will work. I feel like such an idiot for not figuring that out sooner *facepalm*

I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port,

I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port, this is a very new computer. I can hear sound through the usb port of the device. How can this be fixed? Headphones are selected as an Output device.
Please help in any way possible, it is becoming quite a concern as it was just working a matter of hours ago.

usb does not carry audio at all it's a serial digital bus
things one connect to usb which play audio act the role of being usb audio cards only 1 audio card can be active at the time so if you connect an usb audio card the internal audio card is muted
this cause your headset to be muted
disconnect the usb audio card and you will be able to use your headset
if you wish to use a headset an an usb audio card at the same time the headset needs to be connected to the usb audio card

When I plug in headphones no sound through headphones, but can hear music through ipod.

I plug in my headphones and no sound comes through the headphones, but can hear music from the ipod. Anyone have any solutions?

If you truly own an iPod classic, I'm not exactly sure how music can be heard playing from it, since it doesn't have an external speaker.
Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It might not hurt to try a different set of headphones as well.
The last resort is to restore the iPod to factory settings via iTunes and if the issue still persists, it's likely a hardware problem with the headphone jack.
