When i'm in vent and i use my microphone it picks up all the noise my computer makes.

i turned off my speakers and people STILL heard themselves talk.

my mic has 2 jacks on the end. 1 mic 1 sounds/speaker thing.

i trolled forums and found this, pretty much sums it up

s a common problem that no one has seemed to figure out. My wife has the same issue and we've decided that the best solution is to not use vent on her pc. Here's whats going on more clearly.



1. When you have the mic enabled or use push to talk ALL of the outbound sound from your PC is pushed through the outbound into vent, and loudly. To clarify, this is **NOT** your microphone picking up the sound from your speakers. This is your PC sending the sound directly through vent. You can sit with the speakers turned off and the sound will still be pushed through the microphones.

2. It doesnt seem to be a vent issue. The settings on my PC and my wife's are identical. Also we are using the same headset. Both headsets work fine on my PC.

There are several posts scattering the web about this but no answers that I've found. Come on computer geeks. I know you can pull through on this.

hae you checked the recording devices? is stereo mix enabled?
cause the microphone is a physical recording device, it can only receive physical(in lieu for a better term) audio, so if your speakers are disables vent is just sending through everything your comp is SENDING to the speakers, not what the speakers are giving as output.

so check your recording devices and make sure stereo mix is unticked.
