Headphones working as microphone?
Hey! I'm using studio headphones (Superlux HD 681 Dynamic Semi-Open Headphones) and these don't have a microphone built in them, but some programs and games (project zomboid) however register my headphones as a microphone?!

They register if i blow on my headphones or tap on them, showing an increase on the green bar that indicates noise volume.

How is this possible? Should i be worried? I have background on IT so feel free to use IT jargon if you have to.

Is this a Laptop? It is most likely not the headphones, but the built-in Webcam Mic that Laptops have already built-in and active by default.

Not a laptop, it's a desktop that i built myself from different components that i ordered online.

U connect it to the Rear Speaker Out (Green)
on the Rear of the Motherboard?

U disable all devices listed under Recording in Windows Playback/Recording?
