[Shadow245]

hii everyone
i have a probleme were my desktop audio plays through the mic and i mean anything i listen to goes through the mic and my friends on discord can hear it , its not a discord probleme i tried to record my mic on some website and watch a video same time and but the audio goes through the mic clearly like im the one thats talking i tried updating the drivers from realtek website and gigabyte website nothing soo far works i even formated my pc three times using windows 10 latest update - 1909 version and windows 11 nothing works still the same , btw sterio mix is disabled and listen to device also disabled , noticed something weird i think its part of the probleme when i put my mic gain to +20% and try to move my mic gain to plus than 70% i start hearing a very lound audio cant stand hearing it for more than 1s forgot this, my mic is removable so i tried removing it but even when its not pluged in any sound goes through mic

Hi
Can you share more details on the setup
Motherboard? Sound cards if you use one ?

You can take a look in the following settings and see if anything is enabled.

•Go into the "Sound" control panel (e.g. Start -> Run -> mmsys.cpl)
•select the "Recording" tab,
•Then right-click on and enable the "Stereo mix" device.
•(If "Stereo Mix" isn't being shown, then right-click in the white space or on one of the listed devices and ensure that "show disabled devices" is enabled.
• Then disable "Stereo Mix" device.

alternatively you can find your realtech settings and turn on acoustic echo cancellation.

i tried all of this sterio mix is disabled and tried all the settings in realtek settings nothing works now im starting to think its from the motherboard and i dont wanna spend money on a brande new motherboard because it doesn't have any probleme besides this annoying mic thing
also forgot to tell u if i pluged my main headphones in front and another headphones mic in the back pannel it does work with no probleme and and the same for the other headphone

Might be something to do with your headset then or just a awful hdaudio header as with most motherboards/ cases

i didn't had this issue first i bought it for like 6 months but after my headset brooke i bought i new one and better then i find my self with this probleme and its not the headset because it has a detachable mic and a mic switch when i mute the mic it still plays desktop audio in mic and also when i remove it so its probably a windows probleme because both front pannel and rear one have the same issue

The internal wiring could have a short which muting or removing the mic wouldn't help. If you have another headset to try it could prove if it was a headset issue or a windows issue or if you have a multimeter you can test continuity on the mini jack leads.

Just to note though your headset might not have an isolated neutral so the contacts closest to the cable might have continuity but wouldn't prove there is a fault.

Can you run this left/right test , tell me if the audio is coming out of the correct earpiece

Left / Right Stereo Sound Test (Online)

Check your loudspeakers left/right position

www.audiocheck.net

can you share your previous headset model and your current headset? It is possible that your new headphone is using a different standard from the one used by the motherboard ie : CTIA or OMTP

yep all good sound coming from the correct earpiece and im using a corsair hs50 pro and was using some chiness headset called g-lab cr24

corsair hs50 pro

This is the one that has issues? What about old one that was working normally?

Don't know if you've tried this but,

•Right-click the sound icon on the right side of the task bar
•Choose 'Sounds'
•Go to the tab 'playback'
You should see your headset device there
•Right-click the headset device and click properties
•Under the 'levels' tab, slide the microphone all the way to 0

This might fix the problem.

If this does not fix it,
•On step 3 select the 'recording' tab instead.
•Slide down all the sliders which are not the microphone.

All the information I can find about this one is that it’s some French company product , so not sure if it’s the same one you have , doesn’t seem to be Chinese ... and in the product description this g-lab claims to be compatible with all devices which makes it hard to tell if it’s ctia or omtp


my guess is you have standard compatibility issues, try getting one of these if you can :

Or this

note that these are not solutions to your problem, but more like a bypass ..

you can keep troubleshooting and I hope you find a solution, I can’t think of anything else , good luck

 

[ThaiTaffy]

Then I'm stumped my only other suggestion would be to plug into the rear and remove the HD audio cable from the header on the motherboard short of buying a cheap usb sound card. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can help you out I'm off to bed.

[ThaiTaffy]

You tried a usb soundcard and still have the issue?

Ideally , such information should’ve been mentioned in the original post , that reduces the time wasted troubleshooting... good luck

Last attempt from me set your input quality and output quality to different frequencies.

also tried that nothing thank u btw for ur time but i don't think someone found the solution yet

 

[ThaiTaffy]

Personally i still think it's a issue with the headsets if someone has a laptop or some way of testing them on another device headset crosstalk seems more plausible after trying so many fixes.

Just to verify you tried to plug the microphone from one headset and the earpieces from another and it worked fine? If that's the case it has to be an issue with crosstalk on both headset's.
