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.

    No problems Charlie.

    Have you tried my suggestion (on page 5) ?

    Microsoft--this is a big, annoying issue and dangerous in headphones. JUST GIVE US A DAMN SWITCH TO TURN THIS OFF. It's not cool, clever, helpful, or needed. We can manage our own damned volume. I'm so tired being blasted with crazy high volume when I answer a Teams call. Yes, I've tried almost everything in this thread. Just give us a switch to stop this idiotic behavior.

    Thanks Michael! Unfortunately I have the same versions but still experience the volume issue.

    My workaround for quite some while is to limit max volume with EqualizerAPO and "PEACE".

    I use my headset for business calls only, so this limitation may not work for everyone (plus: admin rights needed for setup)
