Whatsapp callers suddenly hear echo on their end only

After working fine for a couple of years, now whatsapp desktop is a problem - but not for me, for the person on the other end, who hears a full echo of everything they say.

I don't hear any echo. And, when I try the same call on my mobile instead of desktop, no problem.

This is recent, only the past 10 days or so.

    Sometimes the solution is simple. For those who still face the problem, I wish that another solution is soon found!

    This may work for some but I think the reality is if you've already reinstalled WhatsApp multiple times, both Reset and Repair (even if it were available) would likely have the same effect. They all aim to restore the app to a default state, and clearly, the issue goes deeper than just corrupted files.

    That reinforces my original suspicion: it's almost certainly a compatibility issue between certain versions of WhatsApp and specific PC hardware or drivers — especially considering it works fine on my older machine with the same mic/camera setup.

    THE SOLUTION

    Guys, this worked for me!

    Go to:

    Settings

    Installed Apps

    Wattsap.

    In the 3 dots select Advanced Options.

    In the Reset category choose the Repair option

    DONE!

    Problem Solved!

    Unfortunately there is no "repair" option in the "Reset" option for Whatsapp.
