Here's the case.
I have a capture card that records my game audio via HDMI cable and MIC audio.
Since I already have my game audio recording I have to mute my TV to keep the game audio out of my voice recording and colliding with each other.
Since my TV is muted, I can't hear my game myself. It'll still appear in my recording though.
How can I hear my game without it interfering with my voice recording?

You get a headphone splitter, that simple. This is just a case of user error, where you are recording the same sound twice due to distance. Get headphones and call it a day.
Get a better capture card?

HDMI audio is digital, so there should be exactly zero noise. Most likely something in your setup is broken, either hardware or you personally.

You'll need to make a diagram of what you're doing, but most likely it's this:
1) You have TV with speakers outputting both video and audio
2) You have a standalone mic, placed between you and the TV
3) You have both the mic and HDMI hooked up to the same recording device

If so, there are exactly two solutions:
1) Use headphones like 99% of recording specialists do
2) Properly configure your mic using manual gain levels and place it as close to your mouth as physically possible
 

I've updated my question so that it better explains my situation.
Also, according to of the reviews i could find, my capture card is the best, and easiest to use.

I also understand I can use my headset to here my game, But I'm wondering if there's another way.
For example, what if i have more than one person playing along side me?
