  1. Problem with output audio playing through microphone


    I have been having a really annoying issue where audio from my headphones plays through my microphone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers in the Device Managers window, but I have had no luck. Audio enhancements are all disabled, both the microphone and headphones are set to the default device. One issue i found is that my microphone has a "not migrated" error, could this be what is causing this? I have a plugin headset that has a cable for the mic and one for the headphones.

    How to I play my microphone output to microphone input?

    I kind've meant like computer output, didn't really mean the microphone output. So if my computer is playing audio, I want that to go directly to my microphone input.

    I already posted my specs and I don't really know what to do I guess. I hope I updated this question correctly

    Audio output leaking into microphone

    I have a similar issue with my Turtle Beach Earforce X12 headset and after doing some research, I can say one thing.

    It's probably your headset(s).

    With that said, I encourage you to watch this brief gif:

    In it, I play some audio in the background through my aforementioned Turtle Beach headset. Note how the input sensitivity is up near the middle of the bar. Around halfway through, I unplug my headset's output (leaving the mic plugged in) and switch it for a different pair of headphones. Notice how Discord is no longer picking up erroneous input. I should note that the mic is muted on the headset through this entire video, so this output bleed has to be coming from inside the headset (or Discord, but I am not in a position to judge).

    My suggestion, is to see if you can use a different pair of headphones for your audio output and either get a budget external microphone or use your existing headset as a microphone only. Doing the latter is easy if your headset has two 3.5mm jacks so you can plug in the microphone jack but not the listen/audio output jack.

    If neither of those options are convenient you can try setting Discord's input sensitivity above the typical peak amount when you're listening to loud music in the background, so at least it won't trigger automatically on your music alone. You may also consider push-to-talk. Lastly, you could also turn down the background audio when chatting on Discord anyway, but I realize that isn't a solution.

    Also, as some of the comments have pointed out, it's worth checking if you have everything in the correct jack and that everything is setup properly software-wise, including in Windows and for your audio driver.

    If you need any clarification, let me know, but I hope this helps.
