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'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

    I have the same problem. The sound with other apps are fine. It's only Teams. I tried editing the device settings in Teams and it helps a little bit, but it's still quiet.

    Thanks, Peter, for the good advice! Yes, indeed, setting the noise reduction on "Off" makes a difference in the test call ("Low" or "Automatic" did not work). It is still not very loud but a clear improvement.
