Sound with annoying echo. Solved

Question

Hello   I have a little sound problem but I don't know how to solve it.   The sound I have has a kind of echo, not that the sound repeats twice but it prolongs..! Hard to describe, but we can still call it echo. To illustrate, it's like when you speak in a church: the sound doesn't repeat but you hear it after you've spoken. Do you understand?! Well done then!   I've tried adjusting in the Sound menu but there's almost nothing..  Thanks! Guillaume

Hello,
I just had the same resonance problem. You need to go to Control Panel, then change system sounds, then go to speaker properties, click on the enhancements tab and check the environment mode. If "stone house" is checked, we have church sound; if forest, city, or living room is checked, we have sound without resonance...
There you go,
Enjoy listening everyone!
Marjorie

Hi.

Click on the logo at the bottom left (formerly start). Just above, you have a "search" field. Type "gest" without validating anything. At the top of the window, click on device manager.

Click on the small plus in front of "audio and video controller" and tell me what you see.

Thank you for your intervention.   So I see in front of the audio controller... "Creative SB LIVE! Value"   In general: "this device is working properly"  That's it...  So?

Is your sound driver up to date?  Do you have the same issue with the Vista startup music? -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

guigui01 · Answer

I don't know if it's up to date.. when I try to update the driver, it takes too long for my 56k to find the driver online. Do you think that could be the issue?

blondin777 · Answer

It's possible, in any case, we need to rule out this option.

The problem is that after searching, there are no drivers available for Vista, and it doesn't seem like there will be one any time soon:

Hello.. I downloaded an audio file from a site.... it's a conference that was recorded very poorly... there is a huge echo when playing the file... just to be clear, I specify that I have no sound issues coming from my PC or my players... it’s just a conference that was recorded in a room that had a huge echo..... I am a complete beginner...... does anyone have a solution for me to process the sound of my file (mp3) to eliminate this echo so that I can listen to it without discomfort and then burn it...... I downloaded the software Audacity, but apparently this software allows you to add echo to audio files and not reduce it.. it’s driving me crazy! I’m about to destroy my PC!!!!!!! Help!!! Thank you very much!!!!!

Anonymous user · Answer

With most sound cards, there is software installed that allows for various adjustments (see start menu).
It is possible to give a "cathedral" effect or other.

kakashi.hatake54 · Answer

Thank you for the response... but it doesn't address my problem... what I want is not to create a cathedral sound... but, on the contrary, to eliminate it... boohoooooo... :.( I can't take it anymore.........

Anonymous user · Answer

Well, just look in there to see if you have something like that selected!

And if you're using Windows Media Player, check if you have the SRS WOW effects enabled.
Also, take a look at the graphic equalizer ;)

kakashi.hatake54 · Answer

non, nothing like that... I explained well that it’s just this file that I downloaded from the internet... my question is... is there software to eliminate echoes??? I am convinced that my readers' settings are correct... let me explain... it’s a recording that was made with a tape recorder in a large room where there was a lot of echo... and it’s the echo of the recording that I want to eliminate... stoppppppppp I’m going crazy...

Please answer me... Is there anyone to help me???

kakashi.hatake54 · Answer

Thank you Marjorie for worrying about my problem... but like the others, you misunderstood my issue... I don't have the "stone house" mode checked... my PC is very well set up to listen to all my audio files... what's happening is that I downloaded an mp3 file from a site... it's a conference that was recorded with a tape recorder in a room where there was a lot of resonance... the problem comes from the source... my question is... is there any software that can eliminate resonance in audio files??? sincere thanks..... I specify again that I have no problem with the audio settings of my PC.... thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Thank you, Marjorie, it's exactly what needed to be done to remove that reverb.

maccoy37 · Answer

Hello  try to remove the echo with this: wavosaur free audio editor  See you!

CVK · Answer

For my case, I unchecked all the Dolby surround options like the stereo enhancer in the Realtek audio manager to get a clearer sound... Indeed, I removed all the echo effects or anything unnecessary.
That said, I think a good microphone filter is all that really matters in the end!

Tonton_Aslik · Answer

I just found a solution that somewhat fixes the echo problem for recordings. I'm on Windows 7 and here's how I did it:  Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> in the Sound category: Manage audio devices --> Recording tab --> Properties --> Levels tab --> Adjust the Microphone Boost.
