• Position your camera's microphone no more than 1 m away from you and point it toward you.
• Position your speakers (if used) at least 30 cm away from your microphone to reduce feedback, and then angle your speakers away from your microphone.

Tip: Do not place objects between you and the microphone.

The first time that you start QuickCam, you are guided through the Microphone/Speaker Setup Utility and Audio Tuning Wizard that lets you do the following:

• Select the audio input device (microphone) and audio output device (speakers).
• Enable Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)—recommended.
• Enable background suppression—recommended.
