Hey, great to know I'm not the only one with this problem!

It doesn't happen very often and it's a feedback loop between the
mic and the speakers, as far as I can tell.

I find that opening and closing the lip soemtimes fixes it... Apart
from that I don't have any ideas -- my plan is to install YD 3.0
when it arrives in the post and hope that it has better sounds
support and this fixes it...
