Sound is recorded from the Headset speaker instead of the microphone.

I have a self built pc. Everything else works fine, but there's one problem: My headset records sound with the headset speakers instead of the microphone. Because of that it is almost impossible to communicate (eg. during gaming). Also, the headset works "normally" on other devices.
I couldn't find any answers on the internet.
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

First of all, speakers can not record audio they can only output sound, what you are referring might be "Listen to this Device" option in the sound settings, if you said "it is almost impossible to communicate" because it is annoying then simply disable the option

Thanks for the quick answer.
But that's not what I meant. "Listen to this Device" is always disabled.
And I'll try to make what I meant more comprehensible: The sound is recorded the best, not at the microphone, but where the left headset speaker is located.

Oh so you have 2 mics, 1 is a dedicated and one is on the Headset. Is that right? Does both mic get detected? If they do the set the mic you want as default that should fix it, or did i misunderstood what you said, again?

Sorry for replying so late. Didn't see your answer to my answer to your answer.
It's really weird. There's only one microphone option that works. There are three options but when I set one of the other two on default (I've tried both) no microphone works. Only one, which is just called "microphone" records sound. Not through the actual microphone but through the area where the left headset speaker is.

can you post a screen shot of the "Microphones" that are listed in the "Sound settings" under "Recording Devices". Make one of those other devices default and try this Windows Settings(Start+I) ---> Privacy ---> Microphone ---> Check "Let apps use my microphone" and turn on microphone for each individual apps.

Sorry for it being in German. I don't know how to change the language.
Thanks for helping.
