HS50 Microphone Issue

[xKev]

I just bought a brand new Corsair HS50 Headset. The build quality is superb, the audio is great, the microphone is decent. The whole package is a great deal for around 50-56 USD.

HOWEVER, 

The microphone picks up any audio that is playing through the headset. Say, I am listening to music while recording speech using the HS50 Microphone it also picks up the music.

When playing games specifically Rules of Survival it also picks up the audio that is playing through the headset.

I want to know if this is hardware issue or software.

 

I am using

Asus x542UQ laptop

Combo 3.5mm Jack

WIndows 10, 64-bit

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you!

I have the same exact problem with my PS4. Sad.

I think it has something to do with the combo jack. I don't have a system to prove this theory though.
