Annoying sound from microphone in headphone

Question

OK, NodeJS is all the buzz these days because it handles things in a non-blocking asynchronous way. Because of this, it is very well suited to being a server of some sort, handling requests from multiple clients concurrently. So my question is whether it would make sense, from a technical perspective, to write a general-purpose Rails app AND web server for production use. To be clear, it would take the place of (for example) Apache and Phusion Passenger. Would this setup, in theory, not be faster at handling requests and responding?

Solution

I am unsure exactly what you mean, however, if you are saying that what you say in to your microphone is coming out of the speakers then do the following:

1. Right click on the audio icon near the clock.
2. Click "Recording Devices"
3. Double click on your microphone Device.
4. Click the "Listen" tab.
5. make sure that "Listen to this device" is unchecked.

If you are saying that you want to edit the boost / sensitivity level, do the following:

1. Right click on the audio icon near the clock.
2. Click "Recording Devices"
3. Double click on your microphone Device.
4. Click the "Levels" tab.
5. Move the sliders accordingly.

Lastly, if you are still having problems, you may want to try a combination of "Enhancements" such as "Noise Suppression". To do this:

1. Right click on the audio icon near the clock.
2. Click "Recording Devices"
3. Double click on your microphone Device.
4. Click the "Enhancements" tab.
5. Tick the boxes accordingly.

"Non-blocking/asynchronous" does not automagically mean "faster."

@Matt: Thank you for cutting through a bit of the hype (at the risk of becoming a heretic).
