Solved! My microphone is picking up headphone sound

[pirozen05]

So i recently bought a headset which is Beexcellent GM-1 3.5mm. the first thing i did was i opened sound recorder since its the first thing i would do to check my mic is boosted. i have windows 7 and im not sure if other windows has that also but then i figured i'm getting sound when i play music on youtube especially fortnite when my friend told me that my mic was picking up in-game sound while i talk. how do i find a solution for this

If you're working off the onboard audio chip, get into Sound Manager, properties, uncheck Listen to this device

what do you mean about that?

I have found the solution! since this mic needs a splitter cable and to anyone who has a headset requiring a splitter cable all you need to do is push both jack until you hear a last clipping sound
