We discovered that the 2-way audio could be a problem during a webcam chat session with a camgirl. First of all, without headphones, echo feedback may be heard. This may be very uncomfortable during an audio chat. When you plug headphones into your device, it suppresses the echo problem of the audio. Nevertheless, it is not enough. It is also important to have a good microphone to be well understood by the cam model. We found that many microphones on laptops could be of bad quality. But it is not the only problem. We also found that audio drivers with the microphones could be bad.
Smartphone headphones/mic, bad idea:
We found that smartphone microphones with a mini-jack connector brought up a problem too. The microphone is often near the chest, so when you move, the microphone moves along with it and hit the chest. On your side, you may not be aware of it but on the camgirl side, those hitting or scratching sounds may be very loud. On top of that, we found that some smartphone headphones created a feedback effect and echo effect because the microphone picked the sound of the headphones. Additionally, the minijack headphones use the drivers of your audio card and your audio card may not work well too.
Headset
That’s why the only good solution for an audio cam-to-cam chat session with a camgirl is a headset.
I see two categories: USB headsets and Bluetooth headsets.
USB headsets
The USB headsets always work well with MS Windows 10 and Apple Macs. it is easy to set up and it works instantly. The microphone is always far away from the chest or the headphones so that you can gesture and it is not going to be a problem. A USB connection is better than a jack connection because it means that MS Windows will not use the drivers of your audio card but the drivers of the USB headsets. Many audio cards and their drivers aren’t good and it is better to bypass them. If you would buy a mini-jack headset you may still face issues because it would use the drivers of your actual audio card. If you face an issue with your actual laptop microphone, this may come from the mic, but it may also come from the driver.
Bluetooth headsets
The USB headsets can be constraining because of the wires. The alternative would be to use Bluetooth headsets. However, since they need to be recharged. On top of that, it may be a bit difficult to pair the headsets to the computer.
However, bluetooth headsets fixes all audio problems just like the USB headsets. It uses its own drivers. Thus, you don’t use the audio card drivers. The microphone is far away from the headphones and there is no feedback problem. Since there is no cable you can move and gesture while you are talking. You can step back from the computer without worrying if you have enough space. It also comes with some constraints. If you wish you get more information about using bluetooth headsets, we wrote an article about it.
