I use phoco from phonecontrol.net. It works good, only I cant hear the person calling so I jack up the volum on the headunit and then there is this reverbiration of feedback in the form of BASS.

Its strange.

I see that in the volume control properties, there is playback and recording.

On recording, there is no mute or anything, only SELECT.

On playback there is a MUTE function. It is checked also.

When you receive a call I think its unmutes it so you can speak.

I do not understand what you mean as far as output, as I never heard of a mic being used as any type of output. ITs like a linein, its meant to have INPUT.

Please advise.

Sorry for using vague terms, I'll clarify.

By "mic output," what I really mean is "the microphone setting in the PLAYBACK volume control."

By "mic input," what I really mean is "the microphone setting in the RECORDING volume control."

The mic can be muted in your playback volume control and still function. Your computer will still receive the microphone signal. The playback microphone control only determines how load your speakers will play whatever comes into through the microphone jack.

That is why I say it should always be muted..

I also had the same bass feedback and I only have one alpine type-x 12". This is because our bass is probably turned up relatively high compared to the other frequencies and it is the first frequency to hit that critical volume to get into a feedback loop. My feedback disappeared when I muted my microphone in the "Playback" control.
