I have a headset and I am able to pick up output sound clearly, but when i set up my microphone my friend in skype hears music i played from youtube while i cant record my voice in any way? Is there any way to this?

You may want to disable Stereo Mix found in recording devices.

where to find stereo mix?

Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel -> Then got to the recording devices tab, and then disable every input you don't use.

Do you have the latest audio drivers from Realtek?

You should have a orange speaker icon on the task bar after installing it. Do you have this?

 

[Natsu Igneel]

Yes i have

Yes i have

Right click it -> Sound Manager -> Microphone -> try messing with the settings like noise cancellation etc..
Also if there is a stereo mix tab make sure it is muted.

Yes. You shouldn't be hearing yourself, only the other people. As long as they can hear you your fine

last question, if you have seen some of vanoss or whatever youtuber you can hear their voices AND the voices of their freinds. How to do this?

Using FRAPS you tick both record Windows XX sounds and Record external input and select the right input.

The reason is a hardware design flaw the power for the headset is usb and the computer is confused where to send the audio. Buy a 6 foot usb extension cord and use a usb wall charger for power. That will fix the problem.

We are talking about a 3.5mm microphone. And even if we were talking about a USB headset your suggestion makes no logical sense since the power and data lines are separate, Computers can't get "confused" - They either do or don't - and using a wall charger on a USB headset would result in no data lines being connected to the PC.

Also please don't dig up old threads (this one is 10 months old!)
