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.

    Recently I noticed that Teams (desktop version) has a new option 'Noise suppression'  under device settings.

    I set this to 'Off' that cured the problem for me.

    (The other options are High, Low, and Auto I did not try them and I do not plan to in the short term.)

    Interestingly the help text under the option says 'Choose Low if you want others to hear music'. (?)

    Hi!

    Is there no expert out there who has cracked this one? Amazing! It has been a problem for a looong time, it seems. I spent a couple of hours yesterday on it but to no avail. The built in microphone, "Realtek High Definition Audio", on my HP laptops, works perfectly on Zoom but not on Teams. If I speak straight in to the microphone at the top of the screen I can get it to register a few percent, 3-4%, on the microphone test. A plug in microphone works great, but I often cannot use one because we are several listening and speaking. Help, please!

    As the audio works well in every other app and plays music and I can hear perfectly well when it comes to Zoom calls etc  I assume that would mean, forgive me if I am wrong and not showing my ignorance, I repeat I assume that would mean that audio drivers are installed in my laptop!

    As they are and have been checked and updated and work very well as I say with every other way of hearing things through my laptop EXCEPT for MICROSOFT TEAMS!!!!

    It is not an installation of Audio drivers

    Hey I kind of improve it a little bit, let's see if that works for you. But I stand on my words, THIS IS A TEAMS ISSUE

    That being said, I uninstalled drivers from my headphones -- I have Bluetooth -- I restarted the computer and then installed drivers. Restarted it again and then connected using my 3.5 cable. made a call and then disconnected the 3.5 and use the bluetooth. 
    The improvement was not that much as I wanted but it did improve... 

    I hope the info was helpful, me from my side I need to use Teams due my work, so is not an option...
    So I tried by best. Let us know if it worked, even a little... 

    Have a nice one
