[SOLVED] Non-Astro Headset w/ Astro Gen 1 Mixamp Pro Causing Mic Feedback

[BigSea]

For example, I'd be listening to music and even though there is no audio leaking through the headphones, people can at certain volumes hear what I am listening to. Or also hear feedback from a game I am playing if the sounds are too loud. I understand that this is likely a line issue where the cords are not separated well enough, and I am asking more accurately if a splitter cable (aux/mic) will solve this feedback issue. Or if this Mixamp Pro is even capable of splitting the signal.

Headphones are Cooler Master MH752's with a usb dongle (that I do not like at all, detachable mic).

Windows 10
Asus Z87 Motherboard
Realtek audio drivers, with seemingly no echo cancellation option.

I'm either stumped or I need a splitter cable, but I'll bank on an answer from helpers first.

How far away the cords are has 0 bearing here. They don't leak audio, what you may get is distortion and crackling or buzzing if there was a crosstalk or interference issue with the cables. Did you update the device to the latest firmware it has out for it?
