Can you try to explain in more detail the issue?
So when i play games and im with my friends
they can hear all my pc audio
ex:games,music,windows sound etc
i really want to fix it

That's not your mic, that's your system, do you use any streaming/recording software?

might be informative if you open up the mmsys.cpl app and then show us what's on your playback and recording tabs

That's a really good idea, I'll do the same because when I stream it records things it shouldn't

seems to me like the others only hear those sounds because your microphone is hearing them
opal wharf
how can i solve?
zinc gulch
if that's the real case, you can't
opal wharf
why??
zinc gulch
if someone standing next the microphone can hear it, the microphone can also hear it
turn down your volume until the microphone can't hear it anymore basically.
now if it's a software setting change, like maybe you are doing a discord screensharing with the "include my PC sounds" turned on, that's different
opal wharf
no
in games and vc
they hear all my dekstop audio
my volume is down
they still hear it
even with earphones
zinc gulch
they hear all my dekstop audio
what program are you using to share your screen with them?
discord?
zinc gulch
do they still hear the sounds if you mute your headset mic?
your screenshots don't show any other loopback or virtual adapters

do they still hear the sounds if you mute your headset mic?
no

that seems to prove it then for sure... the mic is just picking up the audio that anyone nearby would hear. so there's nothing you can do to stop that from happening other than turning your volume down until the mic doesn't hear it... That's just the laws of physics.
your screenshots don't show any other loopback or virtual adapter or anything.

yes

no way to resolve??
zinc gulch
no way to resolve??
no lol... not if that's what the problem is
you can't design a microphone that doesn't listen to sounds lol
if a person can hear it, so can the mic
opal wharf
they still hear it when i have my volume to 0
zinc gulch
you said they can't hear it when you mute your microphone so that seems to prove the microphone is what's picking up the sounds
zinc gulch
so if that's the case, it's impossible to solve it I think
opal wharf
the mic picks up directly from pc
zinc gulch
is it like a USB headset I assume?
opal wharf
yes
zinc gulch
that's really weird. Usually trying to pipe your system audio into an input like that is a struggle that requires using dodgy unsigned loopback drivers but yours doesn't show anything like that
you've somehow got something people sometimes work really hard to get, without you wanting it 😄 But I'm not sure how this is happening based on what you showed. Does the headset have its own software perhaps?
opal wharf
yes
zinc gulch
maybe it has a feature for this situation
