Output audio is being sent to mic input

[Blueshift]

Just built a new system. My audio works however there is one problem. My audio output gets sent to my mic input. Basically if I am talking to someone on my mic they can hear any audio output from my computer. This happens whether I'm plugged into my front panel (case) or back panel (motherboard). My headset comes with a connector that splits the cable into audio and mic cables which I plug in. I've spent hours looking through threads and can't find a way to resolve this issue. Stereo mix is disabled and my mic is not listening to anything (the listen to device box is unchecked). Has anyone experienced this issue? Someone please help. I can't even explain how frustrating this is!!!!!!

hi,
if you right click on sound icon->playback devices->Communications-> try to set it to mute all other sounds
