Windows 10: Audio playback gets muffled when browser uses my microphone.

My audio suddenly gets muffled when I try to use my microphone. Anybody know how to fix this?

:)

 

My microphone audio is muffled on Chrome browser.

My microphone audio is muffled on Chrome browser. I am using a Logitech headset and an HP Elite Desk PC. Troubleshooting steps done so far are as follows: Restarting pc, reformatting, reinstall audio drivers using HP Support Assistant, and under recording tab on sound untick allow app to take exclusive control and give exclusive mode. Everything did not work, I tried another headset a JBL one and still the same thing.

 

Having to unplug microphone to hear playback.

Hi Mark,

There are several audio inputs on your PC depending on your motherboard. It is possible that you are plugging your
microphone in the jack which supports audio in and audio out (same as phone jacks) and is set as your playback device. When this happens, you will not hear the audio out because the audio signal is sent into the microphone. Simply unplug your
microphone and move it to the microphone jack and you will be able to hear the playback sound.





If you are sure that your microphone is connected to the microphone jack, it is possible that your playback device is being disabled by your microphone. To enable/change your playback device, kindly follow these steps:

• Right-click the Volume icon on the lower-left corner of your screen.
• Click Playback devices, right-click your speaker (or any preferred playback device), and click Enable.
  
  Note: If you cannot see your preferred playback device, right-click on your current playback device and click
  Show Disabled Devices.

Let us know how things go.

Regards.

 

Audio playback

unfortunately none of the steps that you suggested worked.the audio from the bluetooth headset still stutters and the audio from the wired headset when connected to the motherboard ports sounds muffled or to say with an electronic disturbance if that makes
sense. theres no audio when the wired headset is connected to the front jacks of the pc. theres three different problems but all of them correspond to the same category

i.e. AUDIO. any further help would be really appreciated.
