Surface Headphones 2 -- Randomly Stop working in Teams

Anonymous

Surface Headphones 2 will suddenly stop working with Teams when I switch calls.

They will be fine all morning, and then when I join another call they stop working. It says they are connected on the computer and within the Teams App. I can hear things on other apps such as Outlook notifications, and YouTube - but cannot hear on Teams, and the mic does not work either.

It requires a full restart of the computer. Does anyone know how to fix?

I have an HP EliteBook 840 G7.

Hi StevenK,

I don't believe this is the issue as I cannot hear anyone, either. And, I press the mute button on both the headseat and the teams meeting to make sure I am unmuted.

Hello BrittSea,

Thanks for reaching Microsoft Community. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

On Windows, if you are in a Microsoft Teams meeting and take Surface Headphones 2 off your head they will automatically be muted. If you then leave the Microsoft Teams meeting and join a second Microsoft Teams meeting, Microsoft Teams will show you as unmuted, but Surface Headphones 2 are still muted. Press the mute button on your Surface headphones and others will be able to hear you speak.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes by responding on this thread.
