If you use Microsoft Teams for your audio calls you may find that it tries to ring your headset rather than your speakers. This guide shows you how to update the settings to ring on your speakers but continue to speak to the caller through your headset.

Open Teams and click your profile picture at the top of Teams, then click Settings.

Once Settings is open click on Devices.

Once in Devices look for the option for Secondary Ringer. This is the device that will ring when you get a call. Set this device to your speakers and leave the speaker option at the top set as your headset.
