I cannot hear myself, the person on the other end can hear themselves.
Still looks like loopback is active. Try to find a slider called
"Capture" in alsamixer and mute it. There might also be a setting
called "input" which can be set to i2c, i2s, mix, etc. Play with these.
I had the same problem with a Soundblaster Live 24-bit, and the
problem was that it was set "mix", which is a setting that allows you to
record whatever is currently playing. It's a good thing to have, but as
you can imagine, screws with voice communications, because you're
recording not only your own voice, but also the voice of the other
person and sending it back right to them.
It's also possible to set this in KMix, but I don't know if you're using
KDE.
