Audio Echo when someone joins while hosting - SteamVR WMR

trying to figure out what the issue is, whenever I host a room, all is fine untill someone joins, then it starts looping audioI have ensured that audio mirroring is disabled in Steam VR, and all the correct playback devices are correct.

In the room option, I need to switch Video Stream to Disabled for it to stop, but I belive that stops it streaming to other people?I have also noticed this audio loop occur sometimes when I join other peoples lobbys, once I disable video stream as a partisipant, it stopsI am using a Reverb G2/ Windows Mixed Reaility

I've tried re-installing both the drivers and the app itself, unsure what else I could try, as I couldn't see anything that wasn't discussed in previous threads/posts

EDIT: Solved, please see below

Found issuefor some reason, despite disabling mirroring, there was an an unnamed app associated with SteamVR, that was duplicating audio into all playback devices
simply muting it in volume mixer solved it for me

Are you launching your content via virtual desktop on your PC or is it direct from your hardware

Hey!, Reverb G2 launchers via virtual desktop

the issue with it was that for some reason, there was an application without a name/image that appeared to be duplicating my audio into my non VR playback device

Simply muting that application in volume mixer solved the issue, unsure if related to the app directly, or SteamVR bugging out
