Hi there! I understand you're experiencing audio feedback issues when using the Yokee Karaoke app connected to a mixing board. Let’s work through this together to get your setup sounding great.

Could you tell me a bit more about your setup? For example:
- What kind/model of mixing board are you using?
- Are your microphones wired or wireless?
- How are your speakers positioned?
- At what point does the feedback occur (e.g., when you raise volume, sing, or connect the app)?

This info will help me guide you best.

Meanwhile, some general advice for feedback issues with karaoke and mixing boards:

1. Mic placement and gain control: Keep microphones away from speakers to avoid sound looping back. Also, reduce the microphone gain (input volume) on your mixer to a sensible level to prevent over-amplification.

2. Speaker placement: Position your speakers so they are not pointing towards the microphones. Placing speakers a bit off the floor and angled away from mics helps reduce feedback.

3. Equalizer adjustments: Many mixing boards have EQ controls. Lowering certain frequencies that tend to cause feedback (often mid to high frequencies) can help.

4. Use feedback suppressors or notch filters: Some mixers or external devices have built-in feedback control tools that can automatically detect and cut problem frequencies.

5. App audio routing: Ensure Yokee Karaoke app’s audio output is properly set to the mixer’s input source without doubling audio paths, which can cause feedback loops.

Given the app environment on Windows with WebKit, confirm that the audio input and output devices selected in Windows sound settings correspond correctly with your mixer connections.

If you’ve already tried any of these or have more specifics, please let me know so we can dive deeper or explore alternative solutions.

Are you able to share details about your current setup and what you’ve tried so far?

happens when record is pressed. Is there a way to bypass record and just play the song?

Thanks for the extra info! So the feedback happens when you press the Record button on the Yokee Karaoke app, but you'd like to just play the song without enabling recording. That makes sense as the recording function may be routing audio in a way that causes feedback with your mixing board.

Currently, Yokee Karaoke does not have a specific "bypass record" button to disable recording while still using the play functionality. However, you can work around this by simply not pressing Record at all—just select and play the song to sing along without recording.

If you want to record audio-only performances, the app does have an option to switch the camera toggle off before you press Record, but that still involves recording1.

So to avoid feedback caused during recording, the best approach is:

1. Open the Yokee Karaoke app and pick your favorite song.
2. Just press the Play button or Start singing without tapping Record.
3. Make sure microphone and speaker levels on your mixing board are appropriately adjusted.
4. If recording is absolutely not needed, simply avoid engaging that feature.

If avoiding the Record button doesn't fit your needs and you want to record but avoid feedback, we might explore setup tweaks or alternative recording methods.

Does this help clarify? Would you like guidance on playing songs without recording or on troubleshooting recording audio routing to fix feedback?

Thanks for your patience! Regarding disabling the recording feature in the Yokee Karaoke app:

While the app doesn't offer a direct "disable recording" toggle, you can minimize recording-related feedback by turning off the video camera before recording audio-only performances. According to Yokee’s help guide, you can:
1. Pick your favorite song in the app.
2. Switch off the camera toggle before you tap Record.
3. Alternatively, you can disable the camera option in the app settings to avoid video capture during recording1.

However, this doesn't completely disable the recording function itself—it just prevents video capture. If you want to avoid any recording activity altogether, the best way is to simply not press the Record button and use Play instead to just sing along without recording.

If feedback only happens during recording, avoiding that step combined with proper mixer volume and mic placement should help.

Would you like me to walk you through disabling the camera toggle or adjusting your sound setup to reduce feedback when recording?

Thanks for your question about turning off the recording feature in the Yokee Karaoke app!

The app doesn’t have a direct option to completely disable recording itself. However, you can avoid recording by simply not pressing the Record button when playing a song. That way, you just sing along without the app capturing audio or video.

If you want to record audio-only (no video), you can switch the camera toggle off before tapping Record. Also, there's an option in the app settings to disable the camera, which prevents video recording but still keeps audio recording available1.

So, in short:
- To avoid recording, just don’t tap the Record button.
- To record audio-only, disable the camera toggle.
- There isn’t a setting to turn off recording entirely in the app.

If you want, I can guide you through locating and toggling the camera option or adjusting your workflow to avoid feedback while managing recordings. Would that be helpful?

Great question! To access the settings in the Yokee Karaoke app on your Windows device, here's what you typically do:

1. Open the Yokee Karaoke app.
2. Look for a menu labeled "More" or an icon with three dots or lines, usually located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Tap or click on "More", then select Settings from the menu options.
4. Inside Settings, you can manage various options like language, account info, and sometimes camera or audio preferences.

If you want more detailed info, Yokee’s help article explains this process as well, mentioning to tap the "More" menu and then select Settings6.

Would you like me to guide you through specific settings related to recording or audio feedback once you open the Settings menu?
