How to stop yourself from hearing your own mic

[Saint_ChienRouge]

I'm new to this whole Desktop thing and I was interested to see if anyone knew how to stop myself from hear my own mic. it's not delayed or anything i can just hear my surrounding like and ambient sound setting . and I've try the control panel to adjust the mic level with no success.

You mean in your headphone or out of your speakers?

 

This means your mic is being 'monitored' and relayed back.  I don't know the software way to do it off the top of my head, but my interface has a monitor / non-monitor setting for inputs.

 

If you are using software to record, OBS, Reaper, Cubaes or even XBox Live, there should be a setting in the software that is monitor inputs - if you turn that off, you shouldn't hear yourself.

Not sure if I correctly understood the problem, but perhaps settings → system → sound → "device properties" under mic → adittional device properties → "listen" tab → uncheck the box?
