How to Stop the Microphone From Echoing on a PS3

Your PlayStation 3 (PS3) console works with a microphone or headset device that allows you to talk to friends when you play with them online. This is very useful when playing team-based games, since communication is vital to discussing your strategy. Occasionally, microphones omit audio feedback or echoing. This echoing can interfere with your ability to hear other players. The PlayStation 3 comes with an echo canceler feature that eliminates the echo you hear.
