Microphone with linux

Ok when i talk into my microphone it plays through the speakers. I've looked at kmix to see if there was anyway to change it. I want to use the mic for the soul purpose of counter strike. I'm stumped, but being a linux noob im sure theres a simple fix.

Well im sure its possible. In windows there is an option to turn it off, i had this problem and it took me a long time to work out. In windows it is in the volume control section somewhere and it is called "Do Not Monitor"


Ph30nix

Maybe muting the mic on alsamixer will work
