Hi all,

I am getting a lot of mic feedback and not sure why in Xpilot.  I have tried different keys as well but same thing.  I am using a 8lue Microphone (looks like an 8 ball on a tripod.   I do have a Logitech USB camera...have tried unplugging that as well but same thing.   I've tried turning volumes down as well in the Xpilot settings.

 

Thoughts?

Respectfully,

Bill

Is the sound the mic picks up played through speakers, headphones, both, or neither?

Surely anytime a microphone's input is routed to some output device which feeds back into the mic, well, that's feedback, LOL.

It would also help to know what you mean by "feedback" -- a squealing sound, or a slightly delayed echo-effect, or just static bursts, or what?

I guess what I'm saying is, we might need to know more about your sound setup and the actual symptom you're experiencing to guess whether it's a hardware or software issue and/or provide any useful advice.

Cheers,
-R.

So when I press the MIC key, It sounds like I get feedback... best way to describe it... if you had 2 live mics and got to close to each other.  It only does it in Xpilot.  When I fly P3d on VPilot its fine.

Things to check:

Is your radio output going through speakers, or a headset? 

COM1 and COM2 both set to same frequency? 

Audio devices set in xPilot properly (ie you didn't somehow select the same device twice)? 

Using any third-party mixing software like VoiceMeeter?  If so, do you inadvertently have the output looping back on itself somehow? 

Cheers,
-R.

If you are using Windows, check to see that you are not monitoring the mike in your Windows sound settings.
