Everyone needs to setup their vent & soundcard options to prevent feedback echos.
First, 'Push to talk' is one of your best friends. This can be inconvenient, but it really helps keep feedback from building & cuts on needless traffic at times. (I'm not discouraging random chat, though.)
Second, make sure vent is set to the right input setting.
WALKTHROUGH: Open Vent, hit SETTINGS. On the right-hand side, the Input Device should be set to "Microphone (*system device here*). MIXER should be set to "Microphone" as well. (Usually the same option as the Input device). The MUX & LINE options should be something like "Master Volume" or something similar.
The Amplifier settings should be set right at 0 unless you specifically need to change them. If others say you are loud, turn down your Outbound volume.
Thats the easy part. The harder part is customizing your soundcar mixer settings. This depends on what soundcard & drivers you have. The basics, open your soundcard mixer. (Usually a speaker icon in the system tray). Make sure on this mixer board, any Mic or Input settings are UNMARKED.
Next, there should be 'Options' up in the top left corner. Inside that, there should be Properties, click that. Now you should be able to select Output (or something similar) & Recording devices. Select Recording. In this mixer board, you need to select Microphone only. No other recording devices should be marked. Apply these settings & you should be good.
No more bad echoes.
