My headphone mic is pickup desktop audio

[gta6287]

So I dont know what is going on with my pc but every time I play a song on spotify, youtube, and even when playing video games, my mic is also picking up the audio coming from those. It's very annoying when I have to use discord while playing games with my friends because they can hear everything that my audio is playing. I've been trying to find a solution for the past couple of days and none worked.
I have:
- unchecked the "Listen to this device",

- "Separate all input jacks" in the realtek control panel

- Changed the microphone volume/boost levels

- Updated the realtek drivers

- Reinstalled all audio drivers

- Used both back and front panel port

- Used different headphones

- Disabled everything in the "Recording" tab except my mic

 

Side note: Im using an audio splitter for the headphone because my headphone only has 1 headphone jack

I'm guessing a little bit here, but... That's a splitter that splits the headphones 4 band plug into seperate mic and headphone plugs to plug into the computer? If that's the case, it sounds like there's an issue with the splitter. Probably it's either broken or not compatible with your headphones. Not all plugs that combine all the audio signals together into one jack are the same, unfortunately.

You are using the wrong kind of adapter.

 

 You need a TRRS to TRS adapter if you want to adapt a combo port, not a standard TRS to 2x TRS splitter.
