Hello! I made a mistake and bought a razer kraken. Well don't blame me for falling for the adverts and stuff. None of anyone on the internet mentioned this when I was looking around to see if Razer Kraken Pro V2 is worth it's money that the mic would pick up system sounds and put it on comms, my friends could hear literally every sound that was going on my system (PLEASE NOTE that they could hear every system sound but not their own voices so I don't think it is about the mic sensitivity) I tried a few solutions I've seen that worked for other people but the problem persists. No, the only speaker recognized is my headset plugged in the 3,5mm Jack, not on the front panel or a connector but directly on the motherboard, and I am using the included splitter since my desktop doesn't pick up both in one cord. One solution suggested using a different splitter but I haven't tried that one yet. I'm positive it is a problem related to drivers.

Info you might need to know:
-I have Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard.
-I am unsure if I have the right Realtek drivers.
-I tried installing a different Realtek driver but nothing changed. (I installed something that said "R2.82" or something that was windows 10 compatible)
-Turned "Stereo Mix" off, nothing changed.
-"Listen to this device" box is not ticked.
-They could hear their own voices before but I accidentally fixed that issue I wish I knew what I did.
-I'm your everyday person, I know nothing about audio, please be gentle if you can help it ^-^
**I really wish I stumbled on someone that mentioned this before I picked it up**
**UPDATE** When I mute it on the cord it still picks up all audio except my voice

I just toned down the microsoft volume from 100 to 50 and it solved the problem. So was this the reason krakens are too damn loud? And also, who cares? I promise myself, again, to stay a ton of miles away from razer products.
