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 finally put a ticket in with my IT department (as did the others on my team that had the same issue, and they FIXED IT with updating the Audio Driver!!! It works!!! Hope it works for more people so sharing this information!
I've been having this issue too. One thing that seemed to work for a while was to go to Control Panel>Sound>Recording>*Select your device>*Properties>Advancedand then uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device."
I started having the issue again and when I came back to that setting it was checked again...
Hope this helps some of you!
I have Dell Precision laptop with Windows 10. On this laptop, using the same OS settings regarding microphone, I can be heard just fine in conference calls over Google Meet or Slack but I cannot be heard when using Skype (UWP) or Microsoft Teams together with headphones. I have tried several headphones types going from Samsung hands-free set through over the ear headphones with a microphone.
In Skype and Microsoft Teams calls I have to literally place the microphone between my lips so that the others can hear me. When I'm using the laptop integrated mic it is slightly better but even then I have to get my face close to the integrated microphone.
My question is why using the same OS settings and the same headset Google Meet and Slack works perfectly but Teams and Skype requires me to literally yell so that I can be heard.
Thank you,
My laptop is also a Dell.
If I am ever a CIO and some procurement manager says, "let's buy Dell laptops," I'll fire his **** right there.
This is whacky but what I have found in my ongoing adventure with this feature is that before a Teams meeting begins, I have to unplug my laptop from any external monitors before I plug the headset into the jack and then it's typically OK for mic input levels.
I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 7506 2 in 1 with intel smart sound digital mic built in and I am having the same issue with teams. Microphone is clear with all other applications. Is there a resolution to this problem?
