Heh,

A customer of mine discovered that the onboard sound hardware on Intel 
Desktop boards created an echo - audio sent out came back on the mic side.

He knew it was the board because even with the mic side of the headset 
completely disconnected from the board he could still hear the echo.

Adding a separate Soundblaster board completely solved the issue.

So he's been trying to report this issue to Intel.

They just flatly will not admit that there IS an issue.

Its funny to watch because the guy trying to report it is extremely 
patient, pedantic and thorough.  So he's just not giving up.  But so far 
neither are Intel...
