IME this isn't very reliable on Windows, either. It's likely to switch to conference mode when starting a call, but chances are it won't move out of it at the end. Linux tends to do the same. I chalk this up to crappy conferencing apps which don't seem to release the mic when the call is done. I've seen Teams show up multiple times in volume mixers and webex lose the mic in the middle of a call for no reason (also happens with a traditional wired headset) so I tend to not blame the OSs for this particular problem. In my specific case this isn't much of an issue most of the time because I've chosen my headphones for their music playback quality and didn't care about mic performance, which, it turns out, is pretty crappy. So, I just put on my wired Jabra headset for calls, which doesn't lag and works mostly OK (until it doesn't: sometimes windows stops getting anything on the mic for some reason – never had the problem in Linux).
