CASE 2: How to remove "microphone howling/robot/echo sound"

1. Use a headset instead of speakers

If you use speakers, the sound goes from speakers to microphone and creates the howling sound. To reduce the howling/robot/echo sound, you have to use a headset instead of speakers. If you don't have a headset, reduce the speaker volume and keep the speakers away from the microphone.



2. Disable "Secondary Sound Device" of Bandicam

If you use the "Two Sound Mixing" option, disable the "Secondary Sound Device" of Bandicam (No. 4).
