Hyper X Cloud Sound bleeding

[ZeroSix]

Is there any fix for sound bleeding and echoing in the mic? Is this common for the Hyper X headphones? I literally got these in today from Amazon, and the bleeding bothers me because others I am speaking with can hear themselves and any other sounds going through my headset. Been toying with the mic volume/mic boost in windows settings and nothing's makin' it go away.

I had the same problem when I used the volume control thing, I just removed it and now it works fine.

The problem persists even when I don't use it. I end up removing the in-line volume controller and still get that sound bleeding, with both front and back i/o

This a common problem with headsets since both cables are so close to each other sometimes a small defect can cause the microphone to pick up the headphone audio. If software trickery didn't change anything, or changing the port then its most likely a defect in the cable and not much you can do about it other than getting a new one.
