Help! My headset keeps picking up desktop audio

Hey, for the past 3 days ive went through 2 headsets (Arctis Prime and Arctis 5) and all of their mics keep echoing my deskot audio. ive tried everything but steelseries website doesnt have a support tab for that. any help please (using 3.5mm cause ive ran out of usb ports since im on laptop, one for stream mic, keyboard, mouse) the headset shows as speaker and realtek audio Microphone

I have been trying to deal with it for 6 hours now but no luck. I have the Realtek Audio Console driver not HD Audio Manager 

ps: what is the check mark and phone on the volume sliders?

 

please help its killing me and my wallet

Are you playing desktop audio outside of the headset

No, not at all. all is going through the main speaker

[emosun]

so theres speakers in the room playing the audio from the desktop and the mic is picking it up?

It keeps picking up my headphones audio (one the mics connected to)

does it happen if you unplug the headphone 3.5mm and leave the mic plugged in?

btw if in any case youre out of usb ports just get a cheap usb hub
