In Windows Vista and Windows 7, there is a setting that will cause echo if it is enabled: In Windows XP, you may mute the Microphone playback in the Playback section of your sound card mixer. In these cases, to hear yourself without echo, the solution is to adjust the Mic Monitor feature on your PC itself. Depending on the latency of your PC and sound card, the sound of your voice going through the software, CPU and PCI or USB bus may be delayed enough so that it sounds like an echo when you hear it in the headset. On a PC however, the mic signal goes from the mic into the software (Ventrilo, Skype, etc.), where it is processed and then routed back through the sound card to be played back in the speakers (or the Turtle Beach headset).

Since this is an analog signal being fed from the mic directly into the headset speakers, when used with a gaming console there's no delay on the mic monitor. The idea is that you want to be able to hear yourself a little in the headphones, so you don't wind up shouting into the mic because you think nobody can hear your voice. Many of our gaming headsets include a Mic Monitor feature that plays back the sound of your voice in the microphone directly into the headset speakers, with no delay.
