maybe the webcam is too close to the speakers causing feedback??

It could be the webcam software enabling the mic… check out the mic settings in control panel, and in the webcam software.

Feedback, just keep the speakers far from the mic

Try setting up a troubleshoot through one of the web camera based messenger programs. They generally will help you to calibrate the sound so you don’t have feedback etc, because of their location.
