Resolution

To fix this issue, install the May 7, 2019, update (KB4464532) for Microsoft Skype for Business 2016.
Note 
Before you apply this update, make sure that you create a GPO to add a new DWORD registry key DisableSecondaryRingerEnablingByDefaultForHeadset and set the value to 1 in the path:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync
Alternatively, you can enable this by creating a custom policy entry and add it to the client policy:
$x = New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name "DisableSecondaryRingerEnablingByDefaultForHeadset" -Value "true"
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity "<ClientPolicyName>" -PolicyEntry @{Add=$x}
