Headset audio problems

[Labarr]

Hey

 

Quick background- Laptop fried due to coffee spill.

 

Anyways, I can hopefully explain my issue clearly...

 

A)I have a ASUS Orion Headset hooked up to my computer via 3.5mm jacks.

B)Computer has Realtek HD Audio codec (up-to-date)

 

My problem is when I plug in my headset whatever I say/breath into the microphone the sound comes out my computer SPEAKERS. I have already disabled 'listen to this device' in my microphone properties. I have also DISABLED my speakers, but as long as the speakers are still physically I can still hear myself. To add to this, I also hear myself through my headset..

 

I don't know what to do....

It sounds like a case of software not getting along with other software. Do you have realtek software installed or are you managing it with windows? If you have realtek's software installed I suggest going into that and turning off every mic "enhancement" it says.

Ya, everything as far as enhancements is turned off. Everything i do is through windows (No extra realtek software). Right now I just uninstalled realtek drivers and windows installed their basic audio drivers and it works fine now. So I don't think i really need realtek drivers.. Since I just need sound and mic lol

Glad you got it fixed! My guess is some realtek software setting was overriding windows.
