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.

    Okay, googled it and this didn't work for me. In fact, when I turned it off, and while on a Webex call, I started a meeting in Teams and having the option turned off impacted my Webex volume, where with it on, my Webex volume stays the same but only my Teams volume acts crazy.

    Be really nice if Teams could correct this behavior. Teams will eventually face law suits for the Tinnitus users suffer from as a result of constantly having their ears blown out.

    The only thing that worked for me was to set the master/device bar level lower, on the volume mixer settings.

    Basically teams would always reset to the highest device bar

    So go to the small speaker icon in your bottom right hand corner icons.(on your windows desktop)

    Right click on it and open Volume mixer.

    On Device column lower to say 50% ,your'll notice a grey bar/line which will lower all the others.

    This should prevent teams from jumping to 100%.

    You may have to adjust your other apps/devices ...but this was the only thing that worked for me

    I've tried this but it didn't work for me. Still going to 100% volume for teams (both new and old) and deafening even if every other volume bar (including the master) is on 1%
