Microphone input is recording sound output.

Latest linux mint with cinnamon here. Using SB X-Fi soundcard

I've looked into pulse audio control and I cant seem to see any loopback forced in the recording tab.

I opened alsamixer and if I drop the "PCM" bar down to 0 on recording theres no loopback but also no volume out of my mic.

I'm kinda new so I dont know how to stop this, it makes skype and stuff unusable since every hears themselves forever. (I use discord but same thing)

You might try pavucontrol.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

Did you try using F4 in alsamixer to go to the capture tab?

Ive got pav audio control, I checked it and I didn't see anything forcing a loopback, and as i said in alsamixer I checked the capture tab

I guess my issue is just too unique to have any info about it online where it seems to be a 100% forced loopback that I can't get rid of.

I just started using onboard audio for the mic, its shit quality and has a soft buzz to it, but at least it doesnt loopback my audio.
