Pro tip: I was hitting the mute on my group call for 6 weeks before I realized I was muting the wrong button

Last Tuesday in a 40 minute call with my crew, someone finally typed "we can hear your dog and your microwave beeping, dude" and I looked down at my headset and saw I'd been pressing the volume wheel instead of the mute switch the whole time. Turns out my mic was live for 6 straight weeks of calls, including the one where I sang along to the radio for a solid 3 minutes. Has anyone else mixed up the controls on their headset, or am I the only one broadcasting my kitchen to the entire team?
