After working fine for a couple of years, now whatsapp desktop is a problem - but not for me, for the person on the other end, who hears a full echo of everything they say.
I don't hear any echo. And, when I try the same call on my mobile instead of desktop, no problem.
This is recent, only the past 10 days or so.

Hi Michael,
I'm an Independent Advisor and I'm happy to help you.
I'm going to need a bit of extra information. Are you using a headset? or speakers?
Also, does this problem happen in a call with other apps such as Microsoft Teams, Skype, Telegram, Discord...?
Hi i have the same problem, but it's weirdly enough only on whatsapp. Even when i am in a group call with my friends they all hear the echo from themselfs, but not me. I tried on discord and there was no problem at all. But, the echo only comes when i call with speakers, because i tried with heaphones and they also work just fine, So it is just on whatsapp and calling with speakers with one or more persons causes an echo for the person calling with me. I have this problem for a while now and i would appreciate it if know how to stop it.
So, there's at least two of us experiencing this! And down to the last detail, it seems - as the issue does not replicate if I use my mobile/headset.
Same issue here, it is only on WhatsApp, Zoom and Teams still fine. For me I first noted this following Windows 10 update on 15th or 16th January 2025. KB5049981 or KB5050081.
Windows 10, Camera and mic on top of display and speaker at base of screen. Problen ony on this device, other devices OK.
Have swapped camera to test. Problem is less evident at the remote end if I reduce volume but why has it changed.
Not been able to resolve yet.
Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks
I also have the same issue - does not happen on apple devices.
the Windows PC has just had an update to Windows 11 - was ok before that !
