How do I stop teams from turning my headset volume up to 100% in the "App volume and device preferences" before each call?

The title says it all. The only way to prevent my ear drums from bursting is:

  1. Join a call before anyone else
  2. open Settings
  3. search for "Sound mixer options" (which takes you to the "App volume and device preferences" screen)
  4. turn the teams volume down for my headset

This happens 100% of the time and it's absolutely ridiculous.

    It is ridiculous!

    If I set the volume to 50%, it should stay at 50% until I change it.

    I am personally concerned over the long term hearing damage getting blasted out at the beginning of each call!

    Microsoft - Can you please fix this?

    I have the same issue. During teams meetings, the audio is set to 40%, if someone writes to me the sound jumps to 100%. - using MacOS

    I have the same issue. Lawsuit for hearing damage is beginning to cross my mind.

    what if i'm stuck with the version:

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.27573 (64-bit). It was last updated on 10/5/2023.

    cuz the company determines the version?
