I've responded to this about twice I believe. The reason that the
panasonic laptops don't echo is because there is no playback via the
mic. IE. The mic doesn't take the feedback and play it through the
speakers. Your problem is simply that you don't want to and/or refuse to
turn off the playback of your mic sound. You should not hear your
voice.. The proper functionality is in number 3, that is also why the
Panasonic laptops work properly. Where you don't hear your voice
immediately. Again; turn off your playback volume for the mic.
