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.

    Try running a Teams meeting test in the Settings menu under Devices. Get close to the Mic and talk as loud as you can, if it plays back as a very low voice then what you are experiencing is a Driver issue not a Windows Teams issue. You will need to contact the the hardware provider (Dell, Lenovo, etc...) it would be an issue they need to fix.

    Hi guys, I've given up and purchased an external USB mic which I've dedicated to Teams and it works fine. I need Teams for my work and meetings and Microsoft obviously does not have a solution to this problem. So I suggest that you all do the same and get an external UBB mic. 

    I hope this helps.

    Hello, 

    As others have said, this does not work. My mic still does not work when I am testing. This is only an issue with Microsoft Teams on my computer, not a BB Collaborate, Zoom or Skype issue. Is there no solution for this since this issue was flagged back in March? My entire team uses Teams and the entire team will need to move to a new platform if there is no solution.
