Stopping the microphone from automatically adjusting level

Anonymous

Every time I run a meeting in the Teams app, my microphone level automatically gets set to 100%. 

I have set the communications option in the control panel to do nothing and there appears to be no option in the app to stop it from doing this. I have a sensitive microphone that requires low gain - this is very frustrating as I am using it to teach lessons remotely.

Any ideas?

    Sure, I agree. But, as it is Teams is unusable with my headset. No other app does this. There needs to be a way to get Teams to stop doing it as well.

    This fixed my problem, Microsoft teams kept changing my microphone gain to max whenever I unmuted and I always had to change back to 16, disabling the option for microsoft teams to be able to auto adjust the mic has fixed my issue, I am using a 3.5mm connection

    I don't understand, how this issue still hanging for a year. Has anyone in Teams development tested with the external microphone? 

    Using an external USB microphone. When using Teams, the volume level keeps moving from zero to 70+.  Need some clear working instruction to fix it. Thank you
