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.

    Yes, I have the same problem. I am installing a version from December, it is fine. I contacted whatspp for this, no answer. By the way, the old version is forcing me to update, after a while. How can I overcome this?

    I have the same issue consistent with the timeframe and environment that everyone else has mentioned. There is clearly a bug introduced that WhatsApp is ignoring.

    I this could help I have the same problem, but I found that the problem only exist if I use a second audio device, for example if I listen and talk via an headset with mic and at the same time I send some audio to my default audio device (the monitor speakers). Very extravagant is that if I do not send anything the echo stops and then immediately come back if I play some music for instance. Also if I play in muted from media player, the problem is not what you are listening but if you are sending some signal.

    Just an assumption but it seems like some voice cancellation issue that goes crazy when you use multiple audio output.
