What I'm listening comes through mic

Hey there, I'd really love some help as I've been trying to fix this problem for quite some time now.

I have the asus xonar DSX sound card (apparently the motherboard also had a sound card of its own, so I have two of them). In order for sound to come off the Xonar dsx, I have to plug the headset in the front slots. However, when I do that, sound I'm listening to goes through the mic and for example people on a skype call can hear it. I don't have this problem when I plug the mic in the back and use the motherboard sound card. No sound goes through if I unplug my mic though.

I'm using the razer kraken headset.

I'd really appreciate some help, I can explain in greater detail if the problem isn't clear.
