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.

    This is happening to me too. My ears are destroyed. I tried some of the solutions in this thread and they didn't work. So frustrating

    Hey folks, I ended up finding a good solution: my work let me switch to a Macbook Pro.

    Teams doesn't have this issue for macOS. Though it does still do some weird stuff.

    If I had a choice, I would never use Teams again. It's such a hassle and ruins my 8+ meetings a day.

    Still a prevalent issue 1-9-24. Would love to see @Microsoft jump back into the conversation
