So, here's the deal: today while I was cooking for my girlfriend, she heard someone talking from my computer! I went over to check it out, and I could clearly hear someone say, "Yeah. love you too. bye." It's super weird because I usually have all my audio going directly to my headphones. I took some precautions and looked through all my open apps, checked the volume mixer, and even ran a complete virus scan with Malwarebytes, but everything seems normal. I'm feeling a bit anxious about this and would appreciate any insights on what might have caused this and any steps I should take to resolve the situation. By the way, I'm using a custom-built Windows 10 desktop with an Acer XF273 M3 monitor. Let me know if you need more specifics!

This kind of thing can happen, especially if you have low-quality audio equipment. You might need a ground fault or ground loop isolator for your speakers. A cheaper alternative could be using a ferrite bead; just make sure to loop the cable through it twice. It can really help to reduce interference!
Hey! One quick thing to consider is whether you might have Bluetooth speakers. Sometimes, devices like Logitech G560 speakers auto-connect to phones and can play sounds from calls or videos. Check if you’ve got any Bluetooth devices around that might be interfering!
I do have Bluetooth speakers, but they're not connected to my PC.
Yeah, but can you explain how that actually works?
