try a non MS headset. that is the one problem i didnt have when i used saitek sticks.....but i used a turtlebeach headset/mic. i actually never even tried the headset that came with my xbox ( actually forgot it even came with one to be honest ). it does seem to be an inhearant problem with flight sticks though. my turtle beach x11s do give either an echo or backgropund wash noise on occasion....usually when the room fills with more than 5 or 6 players. sometimes i unplug/plug and that fixes it...other times i jusr shut the mic off umless i want to talk. it IS predominante when i host the game and the party. most places have a liberal return policy...so if you shell out cash for a headset and it doesnt pan out you can talk it back. its worth a try....
