Feedback On Laptop External Microphone

Hi

I'm trying to help my mum fix her laptop audio issues, but I'm not sure what the problem is.

She has a standard Lenovo Windows 7 laptop. She is currently using an external microphone and audio (speaker) setup. The internal microphone no longer works, so it is no longer an option to use that to text where the issue is coming from.

Whenever she says anything into the microphone, there is considerable feedback; as in everything she says will be repeated back at the same volume verbatim.

Can anyone tell me what I should do to fix this?

Thanks,

Linh

Is the microphone connected via USB or through the analogue microphone port?

With USB connected mikes there is a delay between what the mike picks up and the sound produced (latency) - a very common problem with USB audio. The way around this is to turn off the speakers but this may be not what you wish to do. If this does explain the problem, try replacing the mike with an analogue one connected through the mic. in socket.
