Windows 10: PC audio is mixed with mic input

When I am on a voice chat with someone, they can hear themselves. Whenever I play sound through my Windows 11 PC, they are able to hear it. This makes VC's really tough. I don't know what the issue is, whether it is with my mic or with my pc. It worked up until recently. I noticed this when others were talking in discord, my green circle would show up, indicating that sound was coming from me. I wear a headset, so it is not coming from my headphones into the mic. I tried everything: resetting my mic, playing with audio settings, etc. I checked my sound setting and played some music, and strang

Stereo mix [PC audio + mic] without hearing mic?

{Windows10 and realtek drivers}

Hi, i've been searching all day for a solution to this: i already set up stereo mix, and i know how to recive audio from pc and mic, the problem is that when i configure this way [enabling listening mic trough the default audio device], i listen myself trough the headphones/speakers, whatever im using to listen.
Any solution to avoid this happen?

i already tried disabling the "pink input" and the mic from the speaker levels tab, but doesnt work, i still listening it...

 

Audio Jack playing pc sounds into mic input even with mic muted

I have a dell g7 laptop that has one 3.5 audio jack installed. I bought a corsair headset with a 3.5 jack on it, when I plugged it in my computer asked what type of device it was and i selected headset with mic. Everything works with output sound into my headset but with the mic it picks up the sounds from the pc and puts them into the input of the mic as well so my friends on discord can hear every sound that comes out my pc. This also happens with general recording as well. I have tried uninstalling realtek multiple times and I seen a video on youtube about using realtek audio manager, ( not the realtek audio console ) to change a setting about tying up the audio jacks together. I dont have this audio manager on windows 11 on my pc but i am trying to figure out how to do this so i can have my input and output free from eachother.

 

Can't isolate line audio from mic input; audio driver not showing.

Excellent reply. I set Audacity as you suggest and it works. To my perfectionist mind, there's one flaw: with all volumes to max, the recording level is rather low, as the attached snip shows. Any ideas how to increase it? My previous Win 7 laptop allowed far more level than this, using a Realtek driver.
