Your Phone calls unusable due to too much echo

I have setup Your Phone on my PC and Phone Companion on my phone (Nokia 7.1) - both devices have latest software and are fully patched.

While I can make and receive phone calls via the Your Phone app on the PC (and they sound fine at my end) the other parties all complain of excessive echo so that I need to conduct the call on the phone.

My mic and speaker settings are the same as I use for Skype, Zoom, Hangouts, etc. - how do I trouble shoot this? 

Is it possibly caused by the mic / speakers on the phone remaining active during the call?

Thanks

Pino

    Got a different set of headphones - USB ones but with detachable micro-jack part. Connected via USB - echo. Connected without USB (just micro-jack) - no echo. This is a second set (different manufacturer) that confirms that it could be something about how headphones are connected to my laptop.

    Same problem , tried different settings but didn't help.

    Somehow I reached to conclusion that this has something to do with Windows OS  and the Bluetooth connectivity. To further analyze this I need some simple app that can let me use my laptop as wireless headset( wireless speaker). no other controls. So your mobile is connected to laptop . Laptop with Win10 is used as wireless Bluetooth speaker/ receiver .  And if the echo problem persists, then we are sure its something to do with Bluetooth drivers and Win10. and that needs to be rectified. I assume Your phone application is just using APIs and is has nothing to do with active audio processing. 

    So if someone can help me with a simple application that is readily available for testing.
