Audio feedback when I increase my speaker volumn above the lowest setting or put my finger over the mic, there is audio feedback sound...I can also hear myself tapping on the keys thru the speakers

I can't hear you, lol

First thing is to rt click on the little speaker icon on the rt side bottom corner, then click on open volume mixer and increase the mic volume.

Try going to control panel and open the sound setting, look for mic settings and increase the mic volume.

This type of audio feedback loop can happen on any mic if you are playing back audio at a loud volume on speakers that are close to the mic while the mic is on - which tends to happen on Skype calls. Try lowering your speaker volume or using headphones to hear the audio, then speak into mic, and the feedback should be reduced.

Squealing sounds come from feedback. Many times is is from an adio source and speaker. Check your radio's switches and jacks to make sure that any external speaker set up in the passenger compartment of the car is connected to the "EXTERNAL SPEAKER" or "EXT SP" jack, and not into one labeled "PA". PA is for "Public Address". When the selector switch is set to "PA" instead of "CB" and the mic's Push To Talk (PTT) button is pressed, what ever sounds picked up by the mic are sent directly to the PA speaker, NOT transmitted on the CB channel. The sound is a high pitched squealing noise that is reduced or eliminated when the mic "gain" is reduced; speaker volume reduced; headphones are used or the distance between mic and speaker is increased.

The feedback can also be from "RF", or radio frequency energy. RF energy feedback is different from audio feedback in that the way to eliminate it is to properly tune or "match" the antenna to the frequency of the RF energy from the radio (in this case, about 4 watts on the low 27Mhz range). This is done by inserting an SWR meter between the transmitter's antenna connector and the antenna. Following the directions included with the meter and adjusting the physical length of the antenna's whip up or down in 1/8" increments will allow you to quickly find the lowest match possible over the range of CB frequencies.

Failure to obtain an acceptable match ratio can result in damage to the transmitter and RF burns to the operator. A match of 2:1 (two to one) is acceptable, but the lower you can get the better. Anything in the 1.5:1 (one point five to one) down to 1.1:1 (one point one to one) range is excellent - with 1.1:1 being ideal.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Ok right click on the speaker icon next to the clock and press adjust audio properties, a new window will open up with about 5 tabs on top, click on the audio tab and click volumn under sound recording and another window should open with mic, line in, stereo mix/what you hear etc now if you see stereo mix or what you hear put a check mark in the box so you can play music via the web.
But if you don't see it click on options then click properties and list of name's should appear scroll down and find stereo mix or what you hear and check the box and it should now appear next to the mic.
Hope this helps.

Check the windows audio settings from the bottom right , right click , select adjust audio properties , and make sure your microphone is set to it's highest levels , the screech can be caused by feedback so turning down your speakers may help with this. Skype also has audio configuration settings of their own , check the audio settings on skype and configure as required , doesn't sound like a hardware fault tbh

Typically you want to wear the mic 6 to 8 inches below your chin clipped to the lapel area. It seems in this case it has more to do with EQ and speaker placement. If you can stand behind the speakers while using the mic. The sound bouncing back and forth between the mic and the speaker is what causes feedback. Also try setting the mic channels EQ with the following settings.
Turn Lows down to about 7 to 9 O'clock
Play with Mids to match actual source, but never boost above 12 O'clock
Keep highs around 10 O'clock (boosting highs increses chances of feedback.) If to muddy sounding keep highs aroun 12 but not over.
Good Luck

So we're talking PC here, right?

I don't understand what you want to record. Going from the PC Headphone jack to the PC Line IN might be unwise in order to prevent a feedback loop. External (non-PC) source and PC MIC might work but you would probably want to monitor it on headphones again because of possibe feedback.

Does your MIC work?

Right click the speaker icon again and select Adjust Audio Properties or open Control Panel and select Sounds & Audio Devices. Select the box to place the icon on the Taskbar for future use.


Right click on the little speaker icon in your Taskbar and select Open Volume Control, if it's there. From there you're on your own. I have a sound card so I don't know what you will see. Look around, there may be a bunch of audio outputs and inputs with Master and individual volume & balance controls plus one for your Mic. Make sure it's not muted.

It sounds as though you are pointing the peavey at the band in a practice situation? If so make sure that each speaker is at about 60 degree angle to either side of the back of the mike (you facing the speakers), most mics reject feedback when the the user is directly in front of a monitor, but Beta 58s' tend to feedback more in that situation. Alternatively (if it is a practice room situation), why not place the speakers behind the band at 60 degrees each and turn to face the band.

Hey I Have These Mics They Work Awesome. But Yes Feedback Is A Problem You Need To Move Away From The Speakers Way Away. Try Lowering Your Highs Or Invest In A Feedback Eliminator They Are Like 89 Bucks But Obviously That Would Almost Cost As Much As The Mic Set. Anyways Feedback Is Made When A Microphone Can Hear Itself Maybe Try Headphone?

right click on the speaker icon in your taskbar, select Open Volume Control. If you do not see the Microphone control select options>properties and select it from the list of check boxes. Press OK. Check the mute box for your microphone.
