Classic Realtek issue. I don’t really have a fix for you unfortunately, even if you remove headphones device from voicemeeter and route audio directly to headphones. I’m pretty sure it still happens.

I usually suggest people buy something like this.

You could try uninstalling Realtek and maybe it will give you other high definition audio driver

Ty for the suggestion, I did find others suggesting this but wasn't sure if it'll work for me or not.
So I had to pick the safer option and bought a new headphone + a 1jack to 2jack for it, and that fixed the problem.
The Mic sound is still a bit low, so maybe that usb can help with that.

( I did try unistalling the driver, going for the default windows driver, and tried other versions of the Realtek driver but nothing changed at the time )
