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?

    Hello... Microsoft are you there?  Need some help here Bill.  A simple slider to adjust the gain inside of Teams would be great.

    This issue and complaint thread has been for long time since March 2020, but not addressing to user complaint. This should be a critical issue that should have been fixed. Is anyone from MS listening to us?

    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
