I would never have thought to disable stereo mix. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hope anyone else trying to work this out finds this solution. looked around for mention of the echo issue with the soundcard and stumbled onto this. Thank god I decided to try more combinations anyways and at some point realized that if the computer was set to use my realtek sound card for input and output EVEN IF MY HEADSET WAS UNPLUGGED - meaning there was no mic or speaker attached to it - if I called a phone from Gizmo or from Google Voice (or both together.) anything said into the phone by the party on the other line echoed back to them - so it couldn't be the headset. was going to return it and buy a more expensive one. I figured out that using my webcam microphone cut out the echo - so I decided that the problem must have been in the headset I had bought.

Finally I started trying to isolate where the problem was coming from trying all kinds of combinations. I looked all over all of the Gizmo and GV help sites and found nothing that would get rid of the echo. I kept on getting complaints from everyone I spoke to that they heard themselves twice. I'm been testing out Google Voice with Gizmo5 combination for the last few days with a microphone headset. You saved me a ton of money and countless more hours of headache - thank you
#MICROPHONE WITH ECHO DRIVERS#
I downloaded the latest realtek drivers and I tried to play around with the Volume equalizer of both Windows and the realtek audio manager, but no success.

However I tried the same test with a headset with microphone (and the regular speakers turned off) and it does the same then. I know that one of the reasons might be that my microphone is too close to the speakers. It then automatically drops down the mic volume all the way to zero (as the echoing keeps on going). I say "test" one time, and suddenly I hear myself saying test trough the speaker again and again, and the sound becoming louder and louder. When doing the hardware test in Windows Voice recorder (set up) the testing of the microphone works ok (although I have to keep it fairly close to my mouth) but then the second test which is the playback test goes terribly wrong. From the start I'm having problems with the audio/microphone. Hi, About 1,5 month ago I purchased a packard Bell MC2270 with realtek soundcard + and Advent 2 speaker -1 subwoofer set up.
