Motherboard sound problem.

Having some trouble with my onboard sound. I always use a headset and when I am playing music and i record from the mic in the headphones in audacity or try to voice chat in games the sound that goes to the speakers in the headphones gets put into the mic. So say i record myself saying "hellgate is a pretty cool game" while playing Journey's hit "Don't Stop Believin'" the recording in audacity will have me talking about hellgate on top of journey.

I updated the audio drivers, this didnt help. I tried a different headset and I still have the same problem.

The motherboard is a gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev 2.0 which uses the Realtek ALC888 audio chipset. Running XP service pack 2.

Any ideas?

    Not familiar with your mobo or soundcard, but it sounds like your PC is set to record 'all you hear' instead of just your mic. If so, go into the mixer settings, options, properties, record, OK. Set the 'select' box to Mic (not really sure on the terms, I'm posting this from a Dutch Windows PC so I'm guessing at the translations) if it's set to anything else. If it was already on Mic it's another problem.
