Headphones are capturing PC sound output.
Recently I realized my headphones are capturing my PC's sound, YouTube videos, and games via the microphone. I've switched headphones multiple times but the problem persists across all brands. Also, it picks up audio even without a connected microphone—my headphones have detachable mics, which makes me suspect an issue with the PC or Windows itself. I've tried changing connectors and reinstalling audio drivers.
