<div class="IPBDescription">Nobody can understand me</div> I am getting serious voice comm echo, IE, when I speak, what I say is for some reason "said" again by the mic a few moments later, and then _that_ is said by the mic again. The volume increases each time the sound is looped, so the end result is a pulsing roar of static after about 6 seconds of using Voicecomm.
Your first response is probably "buy some headphones!" But that's the problem. I am using headphones. Somewhere along the line the playback is becoming the line-in. the only way I can turn this problem off is if I totally turn off playback... but then I can't hear anything at all.
My sound card is the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, and I'm using a Plantronics brand headset. Both have the most recent drivers. The headphones are set to the versajack analog out, and the mic goes to the mic in line. Again, unless playback is totally turned off, the sound is continuously looped and made louder until it becomes an incoherant and distorted noise.
EDIT: oh yeahhh I forgot - I have already turned off the voice_loopback in-game thingy. It doesn't fix anything.

My sound card drivers have not been updated though (yes i know shame on me).
I have done that several times.
By the way, I know it is not my headset. I have used it on a friends computer several times since the problem began, and it worked flawlessly, as I could tell thru voice_loopback.
Sounds like something fishy with your soundcard. You might want to consider tweaking until it works or at worst, get a new one.
EDIT : OK scrap what I said....you got that soundcard so it should work flawlessly. You could try rolling back to an older set of drivers. Remember that newer is not always better.
