Cyloning

When a computer microphone (Generally a USB headset microphone) begins to act strangely during an online conversation, generating unwanted audio artifacts such as an echo, or buzzing, causing the person using the microphone to sound like a Cylon. Cyloning can usually be fixed by simply unplugging the microphone and plugging it back in. The term was coined by tech journalist Leo Laporte
