No sound when entering a Meeting on Teams

Hello,

I have observed on numerous occasions that when I enter a Meeting on the Microsoft Teams Windows app (with my Mic and Camera off, because it is university related and someone else is presenting) I can't hear anything. It doesn't happen all the time. I have tried entering the Meeting again and sometimes it works and I can hear. I have also opened the Volume mixer and that was not the issue (the Meeting was note muted). I even tried reinstalling the App. This only happens in a Meeting, not a private call with someone else and only on the Windows app, not the browser. I would like to use the App though, so does anyone know how I can solve this?

Thank you in advance!

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.7174 (64-bit). It was last updated on 3/30/21.

    I'm in scores of Zoom meetings every week without any problems.

    Someone decided to set up a Microsoft Teams meeting and it was a complete disaster. Six of the 8 participants could not get audio and/or video to work.

    So, obviously everyone hangs up and we reschedule the meeting after we have figured out how to get Microsoft Teams working.

    So, obviously... do a test call... and???

    How the friggin frig do you do a test call?

    And, how come devices doesn't show up in settings?

    Problem solved for me :-)

    The problem was that the built in speakers became completely dead, not only in Teams but for all applications.

    After re-installation of all audio related drivers it worked for a while but after using Teams it happened again.

    It turned out while investigating another problem, (login in Outlook) that I had fast start up enabled.

    Turning off this option cured two problems. The speakers are now working.

    So the fast start up option seems to do a lot of harm. It caches more than it should I think.

    Power options -> System settings

    Uncheck the: Turn on fast start up (recommended)

    You might need to press : Change settings that are currently unavailable

    The computer will take a little bit longer to boot, but I can live with that.

    Same problem here. I run on a Mac on native app, no browser. I connect to a meeting, and I use bluetooth headphones. I can hear the call sound and as I connect, the sounds disappears and I cannot hear people in the call for at least 30 secs, but they can hear me. The headphones definitely work. Restarting the call usually makes the trick.

    This is a very annoying issue. I have never had ay issue in the past with Slack. Any feedback from MS??

    I think you must be completely thick. He is asking about Linux you provide information about some crackpot operating system. The fact of the matter is, you have changed something recently on MS-TEAMS so that it is (deliberately) crippled on Linux and Chrome (and also your own **** browser called EDGE is no difference). Microsoft is back to old tack ticks. When we install your virus (called MS-TEAMS app on Linux, it works). But the MS-TEAMS app on Linux is a virus. You can't shut it, once started it automatically set to start up -- auto start, despite switching off).

    Please take me to a world where there is no Microsoft, please god!
