Hello,

I just got a new computer and just downloaded OB Studio to start testing for streaming capabilities. My game sound is coming through my desktop and my microphone for some reason.... I have a HyperX Cloud 2 with noise canceling so this should not be the case.

Do you have any suggestions that might solve this issue? Right now I'm getting a bad echo which is not good!
 
i'm experiencing this same issue. This problem is creating an echo of my game audio but not my voice. my mic is picking up my desktop audio. If i turn my desktop volume (actual desktop volume, not desktop audio slider in OBS) off its fine. OBS picks up game audio normally and my mic works fine then, but obviously I cant hear my own computer that way. so other than that I haven't find a solution or loophole around that. I am using a headset. pls help.
 
Also having the same issue. Even with everything in the OBS Mixer muted except for my microphone I get a low level of desktop audio coming from my mic. All it takes is playing an MP3 and I can see the bar start to move, not a lot, but causes a slight echo come streaming time. Using Windows 10. I don't have 'listen to this device' checked from the microphone properties in the 'recording devices' section of Windows. Even checked settings in Nachimic 2 as well as all my Realtek settings and I'm not sure why it's doing this.
 
I’m having the same issue as well which pretty much ruined my video. Best example I can give is in my video of the echo it creates around 9:44 https://youtu.be/5QORtmhNrQU (WARNING there’s cussing in it)

Now I’ve tried everything that I can do to fix it but at the moment I’m thinking it’s actually my headset and not OBS. Cause the only changes I made to OBS for mic/aux was removed noise suppression. Since while recording Fallout New Vegas,I believe I had my headset volume set a little high then usual. By switching to my turtle beach for the PS4 and listening to a YouTube video with my headset volume on low,OBS doesn’t pick it up and my mic track doesn’t have the desktop audio.

Now before I came to that conclusion of needing to use another headset,earlier I went into my microphone settings on the computer (not OBS) and turned off echo cancellation I believe it was called. Which even with my desktop on mute for OBS and my headset mic on mute, the test video I did had a faint audio of a YouTube video that I had playing. So once I turned echo cancellation back on, that solved the problem as well.

Only thing I noticed that having echo cancellation on is that it creates a weird background noise that I didn’t want but at the moment I’m not sure what on my computer is allowing audio to be played on the microphone even though my headset is on mute.

Edit: Never mind,after posting that I still had the same issue where the desktop audio was faintly bleeding through into the mic track. After some trial and error,it was narrowed down to the splitter for my headset. Removing the splitter and using separate headsets and microphone, desktop audio is no longer in the mic/aux track.
