Windows 10: Why does my audio get muffled when my Microphone is being used

Whenever I play a game the audio works perfectly, until I use my microphone. For example, if I'm running a game and then start using discord or streaming on twitch my game audio becomes muffled. I've tried everything and nothing works.

My microphone audio is muffled on Chrome browser.

My microphone audio is muffled on Chrome browser. I am using a Logitech headset and an HP Elite Desk PC. Troubleshooting steps done so far are as follows: Restarting pc, reformatting, reinstall audio drivers using HP Support Assistant, and under recording tab on sound untick allow app to take exclusive control and give exclusive mode. Everything did not work, I tried another headset a JBL one and still the same thing.

Muffled headphone audio

Hi, I just bought a new set up and downloaded my games onto it. However, whenever i play games that requires microphone permissions, the game audio becomes muffled and makes the game unplayable (Every other app or device i use with the headphones works fine). I found out that disabling microphone permissions for the app makes the audio go back to normal but the few games requires me to use the voice chat sometimes so i can’t possibly turn it off. Anyone know why this happens and how to get rid of it? Help would be appreciated!!
