A simple method to enable delayed audio feedback (and get amazing result) Just a neat trick - you can enable delayed audio feedback by simply ticking "Listen to this device" in the Properties settings of your microphone. ​ [Credit: from GMODISM's video \(link below\)](https://preview.redd.it/b3vkl3utjrt71.png?width=521&format=png&auto=webp&s=704ceb03731333f8357708fee12802e1578a3fb1) ​ This usually works out of the box and no third-party software is required. But if your mic is too soft which prevents you from hearing yourself, use a software called EqualizerAPO to amplify it. The detailed instruction can be found in this video: [How to Make Your Microphone Louder in Windows 10 - How to Boost Mic Volume - 2021 Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHl_wRH6zbU) ​ I accidentally discovered this method when searching for ways to make my mic louder for Vent chat. Out of curiosity, I left the listening option on and proceeded to talk in Vent. Boom! The result was fantastic. Normally I'd be so nervous when talking with strangers met in games that I'd stutter the whole way through. But this time, I talked fluently and stress-free for hours! ​ I'm sure the positive effect of DAF has been amply discussed and demonstrated in this subreddit. However, the technical difficulties may have prevented people from trying it out. Hope this simple method helps. Do try it for yourself - it's been awesome for me and now even if I'm still stuttering in real life, at least I can chat away happily online :)
