Are you watching your own stream?
When system audio is added as an audio source, any sound played through your system will be heard on stream. For example: If you need to watch your stream, be sure to mute the audio or you will experience an echo.
Microphone too close to the speakers
Microphones can pick up audio coming out of your speakers or headset, causing an echo. “Listen to this device” option is enabled. (Computers running Windows)
- Open Sound options by clicking the Start button and type “Control Panel” and click on it. In the Control Panel search box, type “sound” and then click on the result “Sound”.
- Click the “Recording” tab, then identify your microphone. Once you identify which option is your Microphone, click on it and then select “Properties”.
- When the Properties window opens, click on the “Listen” tab and disable the option “Listen to this device” if it is turned on.
Two microphones set up
Most webcams have a built in microphone. Upon initially setting up your stream settings, it is not uncommon for the wrong microphone or an extra microphone to be added in error.
For example: If you have a microphone connected to your console and the audio from that is being brought into your stream, having a mic added to the stage in Lightstream Studio can result in an echo occurring. In a setup like this, we would advise having the mic on the console only and not include mic audio on the stage to avoid potential issues.
If you continue to have issues with an echo in your broadcast, please feel free to contact our support team for further assistance and we can help to troubleshoot this further with you!
