Hi. I’m getting consistent reports from people on Zoom and other webcam apps that when I set my microphone to “ManyCam Virtual Microphone” they’re hearing echo/feedback on my mic feed. It goes away when I mute my mic or when I switch directly to my USB microphone (Samson C01U).
I’ve read through ManyCam’s audio troubleshooting tips and think I have my Win10 audio settings set up correctly:
RECORDING control panel:
Microphone (HD Pro Webcam C920) – On/ready
Microphone (ManyCam Virtual Microphone) – On/ready and “Default Communications Device”
Microphone (Samson C01U) – On/ready and “Default Device”
PLAYBACK control panel:
Speakers (Realtek Audio) – On and “Default Device”
I have the same mic on a boom arm above my head.
With no other audio source, guests on Zoom are hearing a slight echo which goes when I use headphones. This wasn’t always the case.
I do think the mic is picking up sound of others on the call from my speakers.
When I have ManyCam Virtual Microphone selected, wearing headphones solves the problem.
When I’m using ManyCam and bypass it’s virtual microphone – by directly selecting my Samson C01U USB mic in Zoom or other webcam apps – I don’t have the feedback issue.
This leads me to believe that even with “audio monitoring” turned off there’s a feedback loop happening with ManyCam’s virtual microphone.
