Pressing enter mutes/unmutes sound. Help?

I am having a bit of a trouble with the enter button. While pressing it executes the enter function, it also mutes/unmutes the sound. How can I fix this? My OS is fully updated (BigSur 11.4). I tried resetting the shortcuts in system preferences. It doesn't work.


Writing on an external keyboard does not cause the same problem. Mute/unmute does not show up when pressing the enter button.


Thank you.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4
