Out of the blue I'm getting a cyclic audio feedback through my computer (every 8 seconds). Doesn't matter if I unplug external speakers and run the sound through the monitor, it still occurs.
I have gone into audio settings in the control panel and 'beats' audio that came standard on my PC.
I have tried changing the output levels etc...no joy
Its ruining my Skype calls to my son at Uni...HELP!
 
Hi
Feedback is caused by the microphone being in close proximity to the speakers,try moving the mic about to see if you can find a position where this does not occur,or try turning the mic level down a bit.
