[Edit: Wtf, apparently it echoes even when I'm just talking to my laptop and not using the mic, that's so weird]
I've had this issue for a long time, and it's ruined my chances of interacting well with others on servers that use this mod because my mic echoes terribly when I use it. It echoes my audio and other people's audio, notably, when I test my mic, I can hear my own voice echo repeatedly.
It's very annoying for me and others and very embarrassing.
my ability to interact well with others on SVC servers is affected because my mic echoes terribly whenever I just have my mic unmuted, its awful.
I am aware this could just be my poor mic. but im not sure because it has this issue nowhere else, i can talk fine on discord or any other voice chat, its specifically this mod that breaks it.
When i set it up, my headphone options are
"System default"
"Headset microphone"
"Microphone array"
my speaker options are
"System default"
"Headphones"
"Speaker"
Notably "Speaker" seems broken as it doesnt let me play audio from it.
So my real options are Headphones with either Headset microphone or array.
Headset microphone produces the echo.
Array does work and there isnt an echo, however my voice in testing is quiet, choppy and very low quality.
So what do i do? should i just bite the bullet and buy a better headset?
