Default Speaker Echo

Are you using digital speakers on an analog output or

Thanks for the suggestion, Curious. Not only is there no built-in mic
anywhere, I've ensured that every single audio device, other than the
speakers, is disabled via the control panel. Have rebooted the computer
many times to make sure the changes have taken place.

If the computer has a built in microphone is there any possibility that
it is enabled?

I have a brand new Gateway GT5694 desktop computer, using Windows Home
Premium (x64). I have a set of Altec Lansing speakers which I've plugged
into it, which worked very well with my previous XP computer. There's an
echo in the audio output that's so bad that speech is barely
intelligible. There's also mild distortion in music. Headsets work fine
when I switch to those; no echo at all. Speakers consist of a small left
and small right speaker, and a sub-woofer. They're powered speakers. The
speakers' green input plug (only one) is plugged into the green, speaker
output on the computer. I've tried all the other 3.5mm outputs, and none
of the other outputs work at all insofar as producing sound. I've tried
different settings in the Control Panel (Manage Audio Devices). Does
anyone have any ideas as to what's causing the echo and how I might fix
it?

Thanks!
