My mic keeps on picking up desktop audio

Anonymous

hi guys, built a new pc last november, everything was fine and all and i decided to pick up a mic splitter like a month ago so i can use my earphones' mic to talk to my friends while i game, so like i noticed an issue when using the mic where it picks up my desktop audio for some reason, tried to fix it by updating realtek drivers, didnt work, this same issue happened to my acer nitro 5 a year back and that was fixed with a driver update, idk what the problem is and idk how to fix it tbh, anyone know how to fix it? tried to look around the web and its just the same stuff i tried, updating, reinstalling drivers, i dont even know at this point i genuinely feel like hating realtek drivers at this point because of how this issue even happens randomly

Hi ,

Test the back and see if the same problem occurs, but I believe it is a problem with the division. If it is separate, it is not capturing the sound from the audio output. It cannot go from the speaker to the headphone. There is no configuration that is wrong, because only the test image suggests that I may be wrong.

In this case, it would be a test with a very old driver, a new version or similar. If you want, I can see the driver ID and find one that is similar to yours. Install and test.
