all system sound being muffled by being in teams call

hi,

i'm having a small issue where all system sound such as music, video, games,... gets muffled when i'm in a teams call. i think teams is trying to filter out background sound from all audio on my pc

more info:

• it only happens when the speaker i have selected in device settings is the same as the rest of the system, so for example: when i change the device where teams audio is coming from from headphones to speaker, the system sound gets unmuffled.
• the muffling sounds like it's trying to separate voices from background noices.
• headphones show up as: headphone (Realtek(R) Audio)

   

  thank you, whoever answers
