The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers. It feels like the sound is being transmitted to the microphone at a software level. This problem didn't exist before.

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

It feels like the sound is being transmitted to the microphone at a software level.

First of all might be useful to know if it really is or not. Unplug the speakers, plug in headphones, etc.
Pulseaudio or Pipewire?
Are you sure you aren't using the monitor/loopback of the sink (output device)?
What's the output of these two commands?

pactl list sinks
pactl list sources

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

1. I'm using a laptop, so I physically can't disconnect the output device. But when I connect Bluetooth headphones, the problem goes away.
2. PipeWire.
3. I'm not sure.

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

1. I'm using a laptop, so I physically can't disconnect the output device. But when I connect Bluetooth headphones, the problem goes away.

because of physics:
sound is/are waves travelling through a medium (usual a gas like air but also works with fluids and solids) at specific frequency - from which an average human can pick up anything between 20Hz and 20kHz as audible
so what happens when you play sound through the built-in speakers: it makes the chassis reveberate at resonance at physically transports some frequencies into the mic - along with what goes through the air
so it's impossible to prevent a mic to pick up sound played through speakers
one can only use tricks like echo cancellation which is pretty much math subtracting what's blasted out by the speakers from what the mic picks up

so - if your mic hears what your speakers play - that's physics - if you want to remove most of it you need some basic math
both middle-school topics taught every day around the world

I don't get the issue here

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

Thought I'd see the default in the commands I asked for above, but no sad Well I guess a 'wpctl status' would be useful.

Does disabling easyeffects help?

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

Let's look at Discord as an example. Before switching to Linux, there were no such problems.

Now, everything played on the speakers is transmitted to the microphone.

Disabling easyeffects doesnt help

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

what laptop are you using? have you tried googling the issue together with your laptop's name?

Re: The microphone is picking up sound from the speakers.

Google tells me to use hdajackretask.

Most HDA Intel soundcards are to some degree retaskable, i e can be used for more than one thing. This tool is a GUI to make it easy to retask your jacks - e g, turn your Mic jack into an extra Headphone, or why not make them both line outs and connect them to your surround receiver?

Doesn't sound like what you're looking for.
