Have just solved problem with mic not recording (following Parallels community help) Now have a echo noise with any audio Don't seem to be able to upload a sound file to explain. For example if listening to video news on a website, high pitched booming echo crescendo builds up over the news report sound, and have to mute the laptop to stop it. If anyone can advise how I can link or upload a sound file (currently m4a format) then I will post it to explain better. Any help gratefully received.
Hi RZ2012, We recommend you to follow the steps as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/112477 in order to resolve the issue. Thanks.
Tried this, it didn't help. Audio is working fine on mac side virtual machine configuration gives sound when on 'default' or built-in, but nothing when set to 'parallels audio adapter'. I have a built in mic on my macbook air. If I have the mic turned on, I get a loud echo for every sound the mic picks up - it dent seem to be able to switch off, it even records ambient sound, if someone walks into the room and starts talking it will play the sound through the laptop. I need it to record when I am actively recording but not pick up every sound - even the tapping of the keys causes the sound to play through the speakers.
I'm having a similar problem. Parallels 9, Windows 8.1, new iMac with built in microphone. When I join a lync meeting from a Mac Browser, there are no audio problems. When I join a lync meeting from windows, things sound fine for me, but everybody else on the meeting gets a terrible echo when they talk. They are hearing themselves out my speakers and back into my microphone. That doesn't happen when I'm on the mac side.
