geek question my laptop sound card is giving everything a echo.
 

What can it be ? I have windows xp on it.I dont see it what could be causing it.

Had a similar problem but with headphones on my desktop, you checked windows sound/audio settings in control panel?

Try double-clicking on the volume icon (or going to Sound in Control Panel) and checking the settings for "line in". If it's not muted and your computer has a mic, you may be getting the echo from that.

I tried it didnt work, I wonder if its on its way out.

Turn off the reverb.

Please disregard. Too much for me to type.
