Logitech StreamCam audio loop

I have the same issue on Macbooc M1 and streamcam.

I tried to reset the audio service and it restarts correctly. But that's not a solution :(

sudo pkill coreaudiod

I also found that you can reproduce the problem by changing the "gain" of the microphone.

other solution:

• block the microphone with automatic gain on the video call software (eg Zoom)

maurizio219 - When I experienced the looping issue, my stream cam was connected directly to the usb-c thunderbolt port on the M1 Mac mini using the USB-C cable that's permanently attached to the camera.

Someone at Logitech suggested I try connecting to a USB-A port using an adapter, which is how it is connected now using this adapter.

Someone else at Logitech also suggested that I use their G Hub software (not M1 native) to adjust the camera's settings. Their normal tool for stream cam is Logi Capture, which crashes on my Mac mini when I try to run it. This is a known issue on M1 macs. Earlier I tried LogiTune, which worked but only has a few basic camera controls.

I've been using the usb-a port with G Hub now for about 4 days using the camera a couple times a day and I haven't seen the looping issue again. The problem was intermittent and not easy to reproduce, so I can't say it's gone, but so far I haven't seen it.

I have run into this issue a few times over the past two weeks of having a SteamCam installed on my 2020 M1 Mac Mini. It has been using a USB-A adapter the entire time, so I'm not convinced that is a solution.

I have the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, using the StreamCam and having the audio looping issues too. It is very inconsistent, and does it what appears to be randomly. It is happening more often now. Others report this happening on their Macbooks which has a the built in camera. That would lead me to believe it is an issue on the Apple side with the M1 not logitech. Thoughts? I am a complete novice to defer to the Apple community for insight.

I realized yesterday that, even though it was connected to a USB3 hub, that the StreamCam was showing as connected at USB2 in my system report. I am using a USB-C->USB-A adapter and needed to flip the USB-C connector around for it connect at USB3. Given that I've seen reports of USB2 being a potential problem, I'm hoping that might resolve the audio loop issue.

Hope that's helpful!

I had this problem today with my M1 Macbook Air on zoom. I rebooted the machine and now the microphone does not work but the video part of the camera is working fine.

Also for me, the same issue, only solution is to restart the Mac, but in the meanwhile I'm loosing part of the Meeting, which I also have to conduct

Has anyone found a solution to this audio looping issue? I have the same problem with a brand new StreamCam using FaceTime on an M1 Mac mini with Monterey v 12.3.1.

Thanks

Are you connecting the cam direct to the Mac or using a usb hub?

I suspect this is connected to the reason why Logitech has not shipped a version of Logitech Capture for M1.

There is something wrong with the USB driver implementation.

I finally got rid of the problem by buying an iMac 24"... Expensive solution, but the built in camera/mic never causes audio loops.

Problem must be the StreamCam driver.

I bought that adapter a month ago ... and have not had the problem recur ONCE (it was almost daily prior) since. So there must be something up with the USB-C interface ...

Thank you!! I will try that too.

Going to try the adapter first. Fingers crossed! I was thinking I would have to do that too if this doesn’t fix it.
