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.

    Same issue here, it is only on WhatsApp, Zoom and Teams still fine. For me I first noted this following Windows 10 update on 15th or 16th January 2025. KB5049981 or KB5050081.

    Windows 10, Camera and mic on top of display and speaker at base of screen. Problen ony on this device, other devices OK.

    Have swapped camera to test. Problem is less evident at the remote end if I reduce volume but why has it changed.

    Not been able to resolve yet.

    Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks
