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.

    Did anyone find a solution? I am having the same problem. I tried the browser version of Teams and it was fine but once I download the desktop app no one can hear me properly.  My settings work with everything else but Teams and I need Teams for my work.

    I have exactly the same problem. It's the same with Skype too, so this is clearly a Microsoft/Windows 10 issue (Zoom etc all work fine). I tried unistalling the Realtek audio driver, which then re-installs automatically after restarting, which fixed the issue temporarily (despite breaking my audio jack). But the problem soon came back again (with the audio jack then fixing itself at the same time). Please help Microsoft, it's pretty terrible how long this is going on for and how little help we've received to fix it, it's such a pain and has been like this for months and months. Thanks

    We are also experiencing this issue. I have a Lenovo 20T00023US, brand new, just imaged it. We are using the built in Microphone Array. It is stuck at 67 for the volume level, not sure what is freezing it there, but when using the Mic Array with any other application sound works fine, even when the user is sitting 3 feet away you can still hear them perfectly. However, when using teams it barely registers as a whisper.

    Incidentally this laptop and others that are having the issue are on Windows v2004, while I have tested with my laptop which is an ASUS ZenBook running Windows v1909. Will test more on this shortly.

    Obviously Teams online will work fine as the Mic is going through the browser and not through the Teams app.
