Why Does a VoIP Call Have Echo Only for One Participant?

11/10/2026

Echo heard by only one participant can originate from speakerphone acoustics, headset configuration, device gain, or audio processing on one endpoint. Network jitter usually causes choppy audio rather than a consistent delayed echo.

What to investigate

Compare handset, headset, and speakerphone behavior; test with another caller and device; review microphone and speaker levels; and note whether echo changes when one participant mutes. Check whether the endpoint uses a supported headset or Bluetooth profile.

Recommended response

Adjust the affected endpoint or replace faulty accessories before changing the organization’s call routing. Retest both directions and capture a short controlled example for provider support if the issue persists.
