If you go to that uservoice, a few comments down you should see a solution to this: go to avatar > settings > permissions > turn off midi device. People have reported that it has solved it for them
Hope this resolves and answers your question

graemec5Like you, I suffered from this. For me, this has fixed the issue:

eg. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe -disable-features=HardwareMediaKeyHandling
If you have e.g. a start menu shortcut (or other shortcut for teams), you can edit it and add it as a (commandline) argument so you wont have to remember it. The solution mentions Windows, but for me it also works on Linux, which is really nice!
