Here is something I found on a message board that seemed to work.
Right click the speaker icon (on windows 7) on the task bar then left click
on "recording devices". Right click on the microphone and left click on
properties. Go to the "listen" tab and make sure the "listen to this device"
check box is unchecked.
Close the microphone properties window. The "sound" window should still be
open. Go to "playback" tab, right click on speakers and left click on
properties. Then click on the "levels" tab. You should see a microphone
section with its playback volume muted. Unmute it and increase or decrease
the playback volume as desired. There should be no noticeable delay when you
speak into the microphone now. :)
I had a lot of problems when I first started, but once you find the magic
combination it will work with only a slight delay. I am using the internal
sound card for the mic input and a second sound card for the audio output.
The only bad thing now is that you can't record and transmit at the same
time.
