Windows 10: Mic picking up audio output from headset.

Hello, So i recently got a new laptop, and when I went in a call with my friends, they told me they could hear every sound from my PC, for the past 3 hours I've been trying to look for solutions, but none of them are helpful, please help me. Ps, my laptop has IDT sound stuff.

Headset/Mic wont output audio Windows 10

I've seen lots of people saying the have Mic problems but none as serious as mine. I have a sades (sa-706). When i first upgraded windows 10 the Headset simply would not be detected, I had to install a new driver. Its being detected now but it just doesn't
output audio,well at least not the audio its supposed to. Its sounds like some sort of static.Music, YouTube, Skype nothing works.

As i said the device shows up under play back and recording devices, my drivers are all up to date and My mic is working on other devices.

I'd really appreciate any help.

 

Headset mic not picking up sound.

I recently got a new A10 headset so I could talk to my friends online. When I try and use programs such as skype or discord, they can not detect any audio input. I've tested the mic on my phone and it records audio fine so I'm assuming its a problem with
my laptop. I've checked the recording devices and there is one that appears and disappears when i connect and disconnect the headset but also states that its not picking up any audio. I'm not sure how to fix the problem so any help would be appreciated

 

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.
