Hello... I was gonna have a voice conversation for msn messenger for the first time, I guess I had to use the tuning wizard to set it up, when I did that I realized my mic doesn't work... but now ever since I did that there is something wrong with my sound.... when I listen to music or anything it sounds like its in a hall and there's a really bad echo, I can't even watch a movie...I removed messenger and I still have the problem..... anyone know how i can get my sound back to normal??
thanks

did u check ur sound settings ...like right clicked on the speaker in the system tray and checked if all the settings were all correct?

Yes, all my settings are correct. I didn't even change anything in the first place.

Reboot did you do that? This happens to me

Sounds as if your microphone is still on, and its giving feedback. Just mute the mic channel under volume control when you're not trying to use it

I've muted my mic, unplugged it... still sounds like crap... I'm pretty sure it not feedback.... it sounds like my home theater "hall" surround setting (if that helps) .....I un-installed msn messenger too... maybe I'll try re-installing it.....

Check (all) your sound settings again though. This sounds exactly like you or some program set the properties of the sound scope to "Hall", "Church" or whatever...

First check the sound settings in Windows default config panel:
Configuration panel > Sounds > Volume > Speakersettings > Advanced

Also, there could be a program which further sets up the flavor of the sound. Normally this program (which came with your drivers) is also to be found in the configuration screen, like the "Avance AC97 Audio Configuration Panel" (note, the name may be different of course).

have you done a restart?

I can't find anything like "Avance AC97 Audio Configuration Panel" on my computer....



also, yes I've restarted...

Thats probably because you don't have the same model as cookie said, therefore you won't find it. You'll have your own sound properties, look around in the control panel for it.
