You're also provided the options to turn off echo cancellation, noise suppression, and gain control when the environment is professionally managed, e.g., high-quality headphones are used without audio feedback, the environment has low background noise, and the microphone input is managed at optimal levels.

We are seeing this issue as well (background noise suppression not working). This setting provides you with the capability to create a richer sound experience when you transmit music to listeners in a Teams meeting or call.
