Headset mic, picking up output audio

[Dr.Sparklefart]

Hey guys, yesterday I went on Discord to play with my friends and they told me they could hear my game audio through discord. Ever since then, I can't get around this problem. I have tried everything, disabling Stereo Mix, disabling every input/output device other than the ones I'm using, Noise suppression and Echo cancellation is on (and always was), but I tried turning those off as well. I tried messing with volume levels, discords Legacy Audio Subsystem, with no luck. This has never happened to me before, and I haven't changed any of my settings before this. It's not a Discord problem, I figured that much out, because if I turn Listening on I can hear everything echoing over and over again, so I'm guessing it's either a Windows, or a Driver bug. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and nothing. It's driving me mad, I hope you guys can help.

Thanks!

I have this with mine sometimes. I usually put it down to it being a headphone setup with mic and audio jacks rather than USB.

Or you know, it could just be picking up the audio from the mic because you run your headphones too loud, or have set the VA threshold too low.

I had the same issue with an Asus Motherboard some years ago. For some reason, one day the output audio got mixed with the input audio. At that time i was using a 3.5 mm jack headset. So, i did some research and i found that some motherboards get the audio circuitry mess up after long periods of use.

 

So, at the end i had to buy a new USB headset to get my problem solved. I hope that this is not your case, but try to use another mic to see where the problem lies.

I doubt that, as I've been using my headphone at this volume forever, and the problem started just now, but I'll try to lower the volume too.

That's what I was thinking too, as I had no problem when I had a USB headset. The motherboard isn't even a year old so, I hope that's not the case.
