Feedback from your mic may be picked up by your speakers and there won’t be any filtering out the background noise. It goes without saying that you may experience some distortion or interference, especially if the mic and speakers are in close proximity to each other. Any and all sound picked up by your mic will be output to your speakers. Here, enable the Listen to this device option. On the Properties window for the mic, go to the Listen tab. With the mic set as default, and selected in the list of Recording devices, click the Properties button at the bottom. The process for setting a default mic is the same as that for speakers right-click it and select Set as default from the context menu. Make sure that it is set as the default recording device before you proceed. Next, go to the Recording tab and select the mic you want to speak/broadcast from. To set the speakers as default, right-click them and select the Set as default device option. Here, select the speakers that you want to output sound to, and set them as default. On the Sounds window that opens, go to the Playback devices tab.

The choice is yours.Ĭonnect the devices you want to use to broadcast sound and then right-click the speaker icon in the system tray. You can do this for a mic/speaker combo device like the built-in mic and speakers or you can mix and match, and use your built-in mic with external speakers, wired or Bluetooth.
