Desktop Audio Overpowering/Cutting of Microphone

Recently been trying to improve audio, looking up guides and such but recently I learnt that high desktop/gaming audio situations
have been messing with my microphone levels. Even with the Audio Compressor sidechain/ducking mic on,
a loud enough sound starts to overpower my voice and lowers it.

I've made a quick unlisted video for reference. Audio compressor is off to show the issue more easily.
I didn't show it in the video, but if I do heighten my voice a bit more it can remedy the issue, but I'm a bit naturally soft spoken.

Here are the logs if that helps.
I'm not new to OBS, but I am new to messing with all the settings it offers as I've only been using it seriously as of recent.

After a few hours of looking through some things, turning stuff on and off, looking at sound settings etc.
I found that a driver update turned my Realtek Stereo Mix on and found it was doing some weird audio bouncing
between my headphones and microphone on my headset. Turning it off fixed the issue.
