it souns like your microphone is picking up bleed from your headphones. Can I ask, do you have a hearing impairment? Is there a reason why you need the headphone volume at maximum?

If the headphones you are using are open back design, try some with closed backs. They won't leak as much.

Ok, here's an update then.

The reverb situation that I mentioned happens when I am in the line in window, and continues when I Command tab away from it. I use headphones all the time on this MBA, and need the volume up full. As I have said, the higher the volume, the greater the reverb. However, if I make a Skype call, once I get a connection, the reverb drops out and all is ok. Or ok enough, what happens is that when I speak, there is a slight delay before sound reaches my headphones.

I don't like having my ears blocked by headphones without hearing myself back in them, this is a typical radio broadcast scenario that I have been use to in the past -

> I never get reverb. What you are describing is close to a micro feed back loop. and I use this method all the time, actually I only use it if I need to adjust stuff on my set up and you really don’t need to hear yourself to use skype in my opinion Once you set it up you are good to go and you can then us eline in if you are making changes to your set up such as a new mic or what not.

>> Sarah - Thanks for this. I now have Line in installed, and have it set to accept built in mic and external mic for input, and headphones for output. I had to check the pass threw option to hear myself back in the headphones. The problem is that doing this creates reverb that only gets adjusted by lowering the volume. Have I missed something? I'd like to have separate control over the amount of reberb and the volume level; not so good if turning down one also turns down the other -
