I've had this problem ever since I built this computer. Every person I call can hear what I'm listening to clearly. Some how my headphones are projecting the sound through the mic channel and I've disabled the stereo mix so I really have no idea what's going on. I'm running the ALC889 version of realtek on the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3. Any ideas how to stop it doing this? It's starting to piss me off.

Hello DeadRedd! Is the headset wireless?

 

[DeadRedd]

Tis not. It is a split cable for the headphones and mic. I have them plugged in the front as well.

Are the wires or cables insulation worn or bare?

I have them plugged in the front as well.

At the same time?

 

[DeadRedd]

No they're hardly damaged in any way and yes they're plugged in together at the same time. Headphones in the green front, mic in the pink front. I have the speakers plugged in at the back as well so I can switch between speakers and headphones easily.

The split cable is your problem. You can easily switch between Head Phones and Speakers under Control Panel/Sound/Audio devices section.

It's not the cable. I've tested taking the mic out the front and using the webcam mic instead and it still does the same thing.
