Windows 10: How to fix my headset mic to pickup sounds from other applications on discord

Recently, I updated my computer and all was well till I tried using my headset mic again. It caused it to pickup sounds from other applications. The quality also sometimes changes and people in call can barely hear what I’m saying. I’ve tried to fix this by enabling Acoustic Echo Cancellation but I can’t seem to find it. I’ve been trying to recover the Realtek Audio Console to enable it, but I can’t seem to find a way to successfully download it. Please help me out. Thanks

:)

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Headset mic plays internal pc sounds

I might have been deafening everyone I play with on discord w/o know until a friend told me today. The mic just transmits the game audio, video audio, music audio that I run into it and it sounds horrible, not even quality transmission whenn I called myself from another computer to check.

I googled around and saw some people having the same problems 1-6 years back, but either the fixes doesn't apply to my system or it doesn't work.
-I do have the latest Realtek audio driver downloaded since I built my PC 3 weeks ago.
-People said to go into mic settings for noise cancellation (VoizReal Exp tab) and muting stereo mix tab, but I do not have any of those settings.
-microphone-Properties-"Advanced" tab-"Exclusive Mode" Section-"Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" is disabled, I have this setting but it did not matter if it was on or off.

-My PC case has separated audio and mic, so I also bought an adapter for my headset if that matters, since my headset works on my MacBook air perfectly with audio+mic jack all in one.
(PC have so many issues -.-)

Thank for any help in advance, please save my friends' ears.

I appreciate it I was more looking to see if anyone knows something that can fit my bill in that budget. Trust me I know all about the $300 range and even considered audio technica m50x with a condenser mic *Stick Out Tongue
