John:
I am not an expert on ic-7k, but I think the unit has a monitor capability.
I n my copy of instruction manual page 87. It recommends "using headphones to prevent feedback " And, "allows you to monitor your transmit signals in any mode through speakers..."
You might try the AF( set), F4, F1 (select mnoitor) crank dial to turn monitor function off, then push menu/grp to get out.
you can also adjust volume level.
Hope that's it?

Subject: [IC-7000] I hear audio in the speaker when transmitting
I just purchased a used IC 7000. When I transmit, I hear my voice in the speaker or headphones. It is a faint crackly reproduction of my voice. The speaker monitor menu is set to "off", so in theory at least, there should be no sound during transmitting.
The problem occurs in all bands, on both my antennas, and even while using my dummy load. The only way I have been able to stop it is to reduce the transmit power to 10%.
I cleaned the fuses, and even tried the power cable from my Kenwood. No difference.
I removed the tuner from the antenna circuit. No change.
Added split core ferrites to all leads on the radio. no change.
One odd thing I noticed is that when I lightly touch the headphone plug, the radio amplifies the sound of my touching the plug and outputs that sound into the speaker. And yes, I verified that headphone was plugged into the correct jack on the radio.
I have run out of things to check, so I plan on returning the used IC 7000 to the vendor. I am considering buying a new 7000, but I wanted to ask this group if other users hear audio while transmitting.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
John
