I work remote and I’m constantly on a Teams meeting while working. My colleagues have been complaining for a while that they can hear my youtube video, if I have it a bit loud. I always figured my microphone was picking it up and never paid much attention to it. Reducing the video volume or the microphone volume would fix it.
Today I accidentally unplugged my headset and they could still hear the video. Nothing is plugged into the computer, yet they can listen to my video. Something is causing a loopback or something, I can’t figure out what.
My system:
- EndeavourOS
- Pipewire 1.2.7
- The folders
/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/and~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/are empty, so I assume no filters are being used
I attached the output of qpwgraph. I’m not really an audio expert but it looks normal?
Let me know how I can fix this! Thanks!
I use a Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro with a Vmoda Boom ProX microphone. It connects to my internal audio card via a normal 3.5mm jack. The problem happens even after I unplug them.
This might be a shot in the dark but maybe it is some sort of induction? The audio may still be generated and somehow it is creating a current in the mic electronics
I’m not a electrical engineer so this could be horribly wrong
Any idea on how I could possibly debug that?
