I am using the Playstation 4 Gold headset with my computer at the moment and everything was fine. I switch between headset/speakers and somehow at some point, this started happening.

When I put the headset over my ears, I can barely hear anything around me. The second I turn the headset on, I can hear the TV/Water from fish tank/people talking PERFECTLY through my headset.

I tried looking at other answers and they were mostly about this happening through the MIC or some other cause.

I think I remember this happening before and it was a simple fix like muting my own microphone but can't ifgure out how to do that?
