speaker cable are securely fastened under their
corresponding connectors on the speaker.

correct receptor on the primary codec.
•

Check whether there has been a change in the echo path
(someone has moved the speaker or microphone, or
maybe a laptop directly in front of a mic). Otherwise,
this is expected behavior. The existing filter parameters
should be enough to cancel out the sound from the
speaker. However, during double-talk, echo
cancellation will always remove some sound from the
talker.
