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?

    Doesn't work on a company pc obviously. This is such a ridiculous flaw in the Teams app.

    Ridiculous that I have to jump through hoops just to use a communication platform to communicate. Confirming that installing vb-audio's virtual device lets me keep my microphone level at a constant value.

    This issue happens on both the web version and the program version of Teams even when you disable exclusive mode. I've never seen this happen on Zoom, Discord, or literally any other platform but Microsoft clearly just knows better. Garbage.

    It works, but does it give me a delay in the call?
