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.

    The "Don't sync device buttons" worked fine, until today. Now I have Teams hurting my ears EACH TIME I take a call, again with no way to fix it permanently. Microphone volume from new teams app is neither working anymore (it did until today). No matter where you set it, it keep blasting my ears, except going to the stupid Windows settings volume mixer to decrease the volume there, for each call. No, windows mixer is not working either.
    This is getting old and deteriorating over time. The old workaround (disabling sync device buttons) does not work anymore. Is Microsoft really wanting to hurt our auditory system? Anyone willing to raise a lawsuit against Microsoft for these changes?

    Windows 11 Professional, New Teams. Same issue. Volume resets back to 100% after restarting Teams. Each time someone calls, the volume starts at 100%. This is a Teams bug that MS has yet to fix after over a year. Has MS explained why they refuse to fix this problem?
