Whatsapp callers suddenly hear echo on their end only

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.

    Thank you Jay, very pleased to understand what has caused the issue, but I have been unable to Roll Back to the previous version. I downloaded version 2.2447.5.0, from https://whatsapp-desktop.en.uptodown.com/windows  but unable to install this version as WhatsApp says this version now expired and forces you to the latest version. I think we may have to wait until WhatsApp release a fix!

    Unless someone comes up with a solution?

    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 !

    May 2025 and still struggling with this issue. Surprisingly this is only happening when we turn on video call on whatsapp. If using audio call, it works fine and no echo for the other side.
