I use my headset on programs such as Skype and Ventrilo.
However, it has come to my attention that the sound which is being made by my computer is being picked up on the microphone as well as my voice when I speak. This means if I am listening to music or watching a video, the person I am speaking to is able to hear it as well.
My voice is much louder than any of this so it hasn't been a major issue, however my girlfriend complained to me today that it was incredibly irritating hearing her echo whenever we spoke on Skype.
Now I know what you're thinking: Go to Audio Properties> Advanced> Mute Stereo Mix.
This is not an option for me, I have attached screenshots.

As you can see, there is no option to mute or disable this function, and although I have unchecked it and lowered the volume to zero, the problem still persists.
I am using Razer Carcharias as my headset if this detail is necessary.
