Heya,

Bought a new headset which came in today (steelseries arctic 3) but whenever i plug it in, it channels the ingame sound through the mic (discord). I googled my ass off and tried every single option but it does not seem to work...it just keeps on putting the ingame sound through the mic (also Youtube, music, etc.). Anybody knows whatsup? As I said, I really tried everything (i think) so kinda desperate :)

Thanks in advance! :cheers:

@Sourtap

Hmmm ?  First thing is disable everything except realtek then start from there - device manager/audio inputs/out puts

Second  if you have software installed for it you may need to un-channel all sounds being broadcasted as it is reading/recording everything it is hearing

Perhaps I can help in other ways but would need system information such as OS etc and maybe we can meet up in teamspeak

Forgot to mention that I'm a total and utter noob when it comes to computer settings etc. so what you just mentioned doesn't make any sense to me :P All I know is I have no software for it. I can try to be on teamspeak late in the night for me and try to catch you online hopefully. Otherwise I'll just return this headset and buy another one (the one I originally had).

Thanks in advance!

Simple solution it may be incorrectly manufactured during manufacture, Santas elves have been known to do this to campers. Rather than muck about just swap it, have you tried speaking into headset and see if it acts as a microphone?

Nothing wrong with the mic and sound, just the fac that anyone in discord can hear what happens on my pc.
