I enter a Skype call with my friend and his creepy friends. After the call ended, my headset still was acting as if I was still in the Skype call.
Info on my headset: Perixx AX-2000B 3.5mm Headset. The audio and mic are two seperate audio jacks When I enter a Skype call the headset acts like a sort of sound booth: I can hear myself and when I rub or tap the mic, for example, I can hear a rubbing sound. That's normal. When I'm NOT on Skype, whenever I rub or tap the mic or talk, I can't hear myself, just the game, and everything's fine.
Now, whenever I talk, I can hear myself, I can hear the reverb off of typing on my keyboard, which was also normal in a Skype call. At first, I thought it was the headset, but when I unplugged it. I noticed that my speakers where also emitting white noise. Basically, ALL of my audio devices are acting like I'm in a Skype call when I'm clearly not.
I have no idea what's going on. I've restarted the computer 3 times, uninstalled and reinstalled Skype, shut the computer off, restored Windows to a previous point. Nothing works. Everything's fine up until the Windows log in, then the white noise comes back and the speakers include my mic in the sound, like a Skype call. Whenever I unplug the mic jack, the white noise stops temporarily but then it comes back, just without mic input. Obviously everything's fine when it's all muted,
PLEASE. FREAKING. HELP.
