So while I had myself muted through teamspeak, I was watching a vid on youtube and I laughed out loud and my mic caught it, and an option came up asking whether I wanted to continue or not using some device.
In my ignorance, I was thinking it was something to do with TS and press the button that said discontinue/disable.
So now when I try to get on TS or skype or w/e, I speak and the people on the other end can no longer hear me, though, I can still hear them.
I thought it was something in my playback/recording devices but it wasn't.
When I test the mic out in TS and on my comp, the test show that it's capturing the sound that I'm making.
