Hear Microphone Through Headphones
Check for debris, damage, or loose connections
I would like to play a prank on one of my friends. I'm trying to figure out how I can play audio that I can hear from my headset through my microphone. I have windows 7 if that helps. Thanks in advanced. Got my build in a few days ago. Everything has went well, except I can't hear others through the cyberpower aula gaming headset that came with the build. It was the one that was on promotion for $5. I'm not really sure of my audio situation in the PC, I have the standard headphone/mic ports on the front. 3 Can't Hear Incoming Calls When Headset Is Attached Skype 4 Auto Adjust Sound Settings on a Microsoft LifeCam You could be hearing your own voice through a headset for a variety of reasons.
- Check for debris in the headphone port on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
- Check your headphone cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage, like wear or breakage.
- Look for debris on the meshes in each earbud. To remove debris, gently brush all openings with a small, soft-bristled brush that's clean and dry.
- Firmly plug your headphones back in. If your iOS device has a case, remove the case to get a firm connection.
If your headphones still aren't working, follow the steps below for your issue.
If you can't hear any sound or if only one side of your headphones works
- Adjust the volume with the volume buttons on your iOS device or use the Volume slider in Control Center.
- To see if you need a replacement, try a second pair of headphones. If the second pair works, contact the manufacturer of the initial pair and ask if you need a replacement. If the second pair doesn't work, contact Apple Support.
If your microphone doesn't work
- Make sure that your headphones have a built-in microphone.
- Check your microphone for blockage, like debris, lint, or plastic packaging.

I'm using the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones with the built in microphone and I'm plugging it into a laptop that has a jack that supports the mic & speaker at the same time. By default, I can't hear my own voice which is very annoying. I found two different ways to hear myself through the headphones.
- Go into the Recording Devices, Open the Microphone properties, Click the Listen tab, and listen to the microphone.
- I can hear myself, but there is a terrible delay which makes this option unusable.
Go into the Playback Devices, Open the Speakers/Headphones properties for the Bose headset, click the Levels tab, and unmute and turn the microphone and volume all the way up.
- I can hear myself without a delay, but only with the volume all the way up. If I'm using an app like Join.me, I can turn the app volume down to compensate, but if I get an email or something that causes a Windows sound it's so loud that it hurts my ears.

Is there another way to hear myself without having the volume all the way up?

I don't know if you ever found an answer since the questions is 3+ years old. But for posterity sake (and for anyone trying to get an answer) here you go:
Software wise, no there isn't any other options.
The problem being is that anything that your computer has to process and then send back to you (even as simple as a microphone input) will have the slightest amount of delay, causing that annoying thing where you mentally just start talking slower because your brain is trying to compensate for the delay. ... maybe that's just me.
I don't know the technical reasons, but if I had to make a guess, it would have to be the processing of analog to digital and then back to analog
But if you absolutely need that feedback, you can purchase a mixer. Here is a good list:
- Behringer UM2 - $29.37 (http://a.co/d/ckZlVPC)
- Any headset splitter - ~$7.00
- Two (2) x Any 3.5 mm to 1/4 inch stereo adapter. - 3 pack ~$7.00
Setup:
- Plug in the 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapters into both the headphone port(directly underneath the Behringer logo) and the 'Inst 2' (Instrument 2) port on the Behringer UM2
- Plug in the Microphone end of the headset splitter into the adapter that is connected to the 'Inst 2' port
- Plug in the Audio end of the headset splitter into the adapter connected to the Headphones port
- Plug your headset into the headset splitter.
- Plug in the Mixer into a spare USB port on the computer.
- Click the 'Enable Direct Monitor' button on the mixer.
You should now have a 'zero latency' monitor of your headphones directly into your headset.
Just as a note, this allows you to have two points of control for your microphones volume. Both on the mixer itself, and inside of windows.
Hope this helps!!!
