    Headphone with built in microphone uses as Microphone, not Headphone


    Okay, so I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10. I am using an Ultimate Ears Headphone with built in microphone. The problem is that i want to use the headphone part, but all the the laptop registers is the microphone.

    How can I change this, as i cannot watch videos without disturbing others.

    Headset/Microphone background reduction; suggestions

    There's a solution to this out there, but I cannot pinpoint the right search terminology to get accurate results.


    When I speak into my microphone, whatever sound is being sent into my headphones, is also directly sent to the microphone and outputted upon transmit.

    This means that it's not a case of the sound coming out of the headphones, then travelling to the microphone, it's actually going straight to the microphone instead.

    All I've come up with so far, is a suggestion to mute the microphone input via Windows. Though that seems to render the microphone useless.
