mic picking up headphone audio on windows 11? no way found to untie audio jacks? (self.techsupport)

I've had this problem since I got the new computer and I can't find a fix to save my soul. All the stuff I read online didn't work, and most other options are for windows 10. I found one thing that says realtek drivers tie your audio jacks together by default and to turn that off, but there's no audio driver manager I can find to do so. What do I do, where do I go?

It's a Lenovo Legion with only one audio jack, and my headphones have the 4 ring 3.5mm jack.

Which legion is this? At first I was think8ng that it's a hardware issue, but I realized that I also have a lenovo legion, and I do not have this problem.

Could it be a windows-issue? I use linux, so that might also be a causal difference.

EDIT: And come to think of it, I use a regular stereo jack (two rings) for my headset, and the built-in mic.

it's a Legion 5 16IRX9 - Type 83DG, one audio jack and my headset is a 4 ring headphones with mic

It could be the audio driver, a missing piece of software related to the the audio chip set, or it could be an OMTP vs CTIA issue

There is also an updated audio driver on Lenovo's site for W11
