Acer 5920 Laptop Audio Feedback Problem Solved!

[wynddancer]

Since yesterday, whenever I closed my laptop lid there was an audio feedback squeal that drove me nuts. It also sounded like the microphone was open for recording, which I didn't understand since I've never used the mic for anything. Laptop is Acer 5920 and runs Microsoft Vista. I solved the problem by going to Control Panel, under Hardware and Sounds I clicked on Manage Audio Devices, selected Recording from the Sound Menu, clicked on Properties, and selected Levels (general, levels, enchancements, advanced tabs). On the Level Screen it says Microphone and Microphone Boost (+20 dB). I slid the ruler over to 0 on the Microphone Boost ruler. Problem solved! Take that laptop! I've no idea what changed the settings.
