Windows 10: Microphone picking up speaker sound even though I have a headset connected

So, whenever I call my friends on discord or use an in-game voice chat or record something using software my computer always picks up the audio playing through my headphones and then it goes on the recording or through to the other people I'm talking with. This is really annoying, does anybody know a solution to this?

Microphone still unable to pick up sound from Dragon Speech

Not a techie at all sorry but follow your general drift which is interesting. I've now got a mike input (USB Pro Sound) but how do you make the connection to the headphone output as there's two separate wires ?

 

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 is plugged in and registered by the computer, but no sound is being picked up by the microphone.

Hi,

Since you have done some troubleshooting steps to get your microphone working on your headset, we suggest that you remove all the speakers connected to your computer. Then try again using your microphone, put it on the front panel to figure out if it's going
to work. We'd also like to know if you have tried using another device with a microphone to isolate the issue.

Do update us if it does make any difference.

Kind regards.
