Hello, 

My in built microphone on my laptop works well with other  and is good on the voice recorder but I cannot take part in audio conversations on Teams because others in the conversation cannot hear me. I have tried settings on Teams and on my laptop control panel but haven't been able to fix the problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance.

    I agree best work around is USB microphone, I am using an external webcam with microphone that works well. It is just upsetting to spend good money on a new laptop and have to come up with work arounds. Microsoft please address the issue.

    The only workaround I can recommend you is to use a USB microphone, not the integrated one or one connected through the Jack port. I've tested this solution with a webcam and with Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 headset (USB connected) and the microphone volume is normal.

    So far the only workaround I have found is to use a microphone connected on a USB port to the computer. I've tested with a webcam and with Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 headset both on Skype and Teams and it is working. The microphone volume is normal when using a USB microphone.

    Only MS can fix this.

    Zoom, WebEx, TeamViewer all fine.

    To be fair, sometimes Zoom needs a reboot of the laptop.

    It seems that both Skype and Microsoft Teams works perfectly in regards to microphone volume if you use a headset or at least a microphone that connects to your computer through a USB port. I have tested with a webcam connected on USB and with a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 headset.
