Hi, If I understand correctly, what might be happening is not software mixing, but hardware mixig, i.e. the mic input is going directly to the outputs through the card's hardware mixer. This may happen even if the selected input for recording is not the mic. You can check this using the alsa mixer or something like gamix (see if the mic input is open). If this is what is happening, the recording input might be set to line instead of mic.
