Preventing acoustic feedback
Acoustic feedback could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to built-in speakers (or the external speakers).
This can be remedied by:

Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
5
Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
5
Lowering volume levels.
