    When I webcam on MSN, I use a Logitech USB headset, but I have a problem.

    Whenever I talked, the volume on the headphones decrease so I can't hear the other person, I guess it's my computer's way of being smart to prevent feedback from the microphone.

    I tried to play around with the settings but so far I haven't an solution. So I'm looking to see if anyone has some experience on this, thanks for all your inputs.

    Not sure, try disabling DC Offset Cancellation, and check if that makes a difference. (in Vista)

    Do you happen to have a realtek sound manager? I used to have this problem on a computer with Realtek audio, I had to un-check a box in the control panel (forget the wording, post screenshots and I'll point it out) which fixed the problem. It was basically just a noise cancellation function.
