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.

    What worked for me was to uninstall the realtek audio drivers & make use of the microsoft audio driver instead. No problems since I did that.

    ME TOO.

    I tried these changes and had nothing to change - the settings I have were the same as those I was told to change to and still got the annoying problem.

    I've got a lenovo laptop and been having the same issue but seemed to fix by just uninstalling the conexant audio driver:

    • right click windows icon and go to 'Device Manager'
    • under 'sound, video and game controllers' right click and uninstall conexant
    • once laptop restarted, in teams selected correct microphone and it worked! I also upped the microphone & boost levels in sound settings (right click speaker icon on taskbar)

    random side note - previously, in the 'sounds' settings I only had one microphone listed. But after uninstalling conexant I had both the built in mic and my earphone mic listed
