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?

They plan to buy Discord. Then they have three solutions to the same problem "voice & video communication". I don't see where things get fixed in any of their current solutions... I guess we have to live with that.
We wouldn't be here if it was that simple as Rudy says... Fix your TEAMS app and let us actually do what you're suggesting.
Well until Teams decides to implement this... If ever... There is a workaround for the windows app you if you are an administrator on your machine.
Steps:
- Download from: https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm
- Extract and install driver for virtual audio cable and restart
- Open sound settings
- Playback - Set your normal speakers as default
- Recording - Set your normal microphone as default
- Recording - open properties for your microphone
- Under listen tab, set to play through the new "Cable Input" device, apply
- In Teams, device settings, set the microphone input to the new "Cable Output"
Now, Only for Teams, the microphone sound is routed through the "virtual cable" so Teams only sees the virtual microphone, and does not seem to mess this one up!
did that but now my microphone is not working in teams. Any idea how to fix it?
This is still an ongoing issue. When Teams is activated, I can look at the Microphone Levels and they are forced to 0 or 1 even with the unchecking of boxes and setting levels from speech recognition. I don't know if there will ever be a fix.
