I have a Nitro AN17-51 and earlier this week, my laptop mic started picking my computer audio so that people can hear my audio output. I didn't change any settings on my own. I know there were some Acer updates this week. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

    Turn the laptops camera OFF at Device Manger as you need to have the camera turned off for security reasons anyway, as the mic is associated with the camera and its probably being used through the camera which your laptop could have been hacked, turn the camera OFF at Device Manager always for security reasons, as I do that always, as I only have the camera/mic on when I'm using the camara! Good luck and hope this helps you out.
