team mysterious ringing

That might work while on the call, but the ringing continues eternally even when I'm not on the phone. I think the problem for me relates to the way Teams is trying to pause and resume media when it gets a phone call. Here are some other things I notice are happening:

1. I use Plex on my iPad and iPhone. Sometimes I have paused or stopped media from playing, but it is still actively in the queue ready to play/resume. After getting a phone call (I don't even have to answer it), my devices will randomly just start playing after the phone call stops ringing.
2. I upgraded to Windows 11. The sound control panel in the system tray is now different. If I am on the phone and Teams is continually ringing, I can hit this new panel and see a play/pause button that says 'Microsoft Teams' is currently playing audio. I can hit the pause button and it stops the ringing sound.

Teams kicks off some audio event, play the ringing sound media, and not stop playing when the call is answered or hung up. At least in Windows 11 I now have some sort of control over this.

Hi David Predenkoski

The way I solved this:

1. go to your windows 10/11 settings settings.
2. Click on system if not already there
3. Click on sound and scroll to the bottom
4. Click on "more sound settings" The Window "Sound" opens (continues below picture)
5. Click on communications
6. Select "Mute all other sounds"
7. Click "OK" and you should be good.

Good luck

I have the same mystery ringing with either bluetooth speakers or with the PC built in speakers. It is so terrible.

Same happens with me when I tap the 'Play/Pause' button on my Bluetooth headset.

Thank you! I did go into Task Manager and there were two Teams items running. I closed one and the ringing stopped.
