| 1414065 | 2016-01-04 22:51:00 | I have two sound cards, a Realtek HD onboard and now recently, an Asus Xonar D1. My stereo system\speakers run through the Realtek, and my headset\mic is plugged into the Asus Xonar card. Previously, using software like Teamspeak and my Realtek card, I had no issues using my headset, except having to switch plugs all the time, hence why I installed the Xonar card. Now, when I use the headset with the Xonar card and try to use Teamspeak etc, everything playing locally on my machine is also sent through Teamspeak, even though the Xonar Mic input is selected in Teamspeak, the Xonar control panel recording device is set to Mic, etc etc. It's like I'm using Stereo Mix\Wave mix etc as my recording device - but of course I'm not. Even with all other inputs except Mic disabled in Windows 7 audio control panel, muted, etc etc, anyone listening to me on Teamspeak hears my local audio as well as my Mic. I thought the problem may have been my (new, around the same time as the Xonar card) headset picking up audio from itself, but turning the volume on the headset down (and completely off) while leaving the Mic on still results in everyone hearing all my local audio. It seems like the problem is either Windows, the Xonar card itself, or its drivers. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? |

| 1414066 | 2016-01-06 06:18:00 | A very confusing problem but it does seem the problem may well be the headset itself. Different drivers (Official Asus vs UNi Custom) for the Xonar card made no difference, but plugging the mic into the Realtek card did. Logically that would suggest the card, but I then tried the headset with an external mic, both plugged into the Xonar, and the problem vanished. So that rules out Windows and drivers anyway, surely. Since the problem still occurs even with the headset's own volume control at zero, it leads me to think the Xonar card simply has a more sensitive mic input than the Realtek, and is picking up the outputted signal via some crosstalk mechanism or high-impedance short in the headset itself. It looks like I will have to get a better headset, which I wanted to do anyway, since the headband on the current one gives me a headache after about an hour.... |
