Microphone recordes Sound out

[Fangman]

Hey all,

I am using onboard sound on a gigabyte 945p S3 (rev 3.3). I think it is called Realtek High Definition Audio.

The problem is that when i use my microphone to record (been testing with windows sound recorder) It also recordes what ever sound is playing on the PC, even with my speakers off. I have played around with the Realtek Sound manager and cannot get any success. I have also updated the drivers to no change. The sound recorded (from the PC sound out) is of low quality.

My PC has two microphone out sockets, they both produce the same effect.

My last motherboard (which just failed) was the 965p version of this board with the same onboard sound and the microphone worked fine.

Any suggestions on to what the cause may be and how to fix it will be welcomed. I am not a sound enthusiast so I am not too keen on buying a Sound card.

-Thank you

have you set it to automatically detect what you plug in? try re-detecting everything. unplug and plug it back in.
and it will ask you what you connected.

I have tried un plugging the speakers and microphone and plugging just the microphone in, recording and it still recordes the music that is playing.

My audio manager can detect that a port has been plugged. I do not have the option to choose what is plugged in.

OK, found out the problem. If I mute the "stero mix" option in windows audio I don't get the problem anymore.
