I don't think so.

You really have to :
- turn off the speakers
- Make sure both sides are using a good quality headset (or you could
get magnetic fields and echo)

I suggest you to go in the IRC channel and ask for a live test with
someone there to help determining what is the cause of the echo. If you
call that way a person who doesn't usually produce echoing (kilian for
example), then it will be easy to see if he has echo with you or if you
have echo. If you have echo from that person, then we are sure that the
problem is with your headset or soundcard.

An USB headset is probably a better idea than a PCMCIA soundcard.
