Windows 10: PC AUDIO CCOMING THROUGH MICROPHONES

when I plug my headset into the appropriate jack just for the microphone it works fine i.e the microphone works and no desktop audio comes through the mic, but I obviously cannot hear anything similarly if I plug it into the audio output jack I can hear everything fine and there is no sound input detected. However, when both are plugged in simultaneously the pc audio output is played through my microphone as well. I have tried using two separate devices but the issue is still occurring. All my drivers are up to date. Please help I've been having this issue for a long time

Microphone issues

Hi Michael,

Here are the possible reasons why you're getting an error "The microphone did not pick anything up" when using it:

• Incorrect settings (microphone is not set as default device)
  
• Corrupted or outdated driver
  
• Faulty device
  

For us to isolate the issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to this issue(e.g. Windows updates)?
  
• Have you tried connecting other microphone to your computer?
  
• Have you tried connecting the microphone to the other computer?
  

In the meantime, we suggest running the Recording Audio Troubleshooter to find and repair problems with recording sound. We also suggest checking if your microphone is set as your default recording device. For troubleshooting steps, please see

We're looking forward to your reply.
