    Sounds like you have it set to be the mute switch. On older models, the
    mute switch was a physical switch, where it would remain on mute until
    you toggled the switch again to unmute.

    Forgot to add:

    If you want to mute a single call, pressing the power button once will
    do that. And pressing the power button twice will mute and send the
    caller straight to voicemail.

    I did not know that but I found out today that by pressing the
    audio-down toggle will do what I want.

    I just used Action button in the same state it came with. Did not change anything about it.

    Pretty sure it mimic the physical mute switch by default, which would
    explain why it behaves like one. You can change it to whatever you want.
