Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication
I've come across a bit of a work around
- Open Settings > System > Sound
- Set the volume under output to what you want everything normal to be (eg 35%)
- Scroll down to Advanced > Volume mixer
- Adjust any teams values to 100%
- Make a test call in teams and pay attention to the volume level under the system heading (not apps heading you just changed), if it scrolls on its own to a higher level (and your ears get blasted....) .. this is where the 'fun starts'
- End the test call. Give it a good 5-10 seconds or the next test call does not seem to trigger the ringer/notification
- Start a new test call and as the ring starts, click on the approx volume you want on the 'system ringer' (eg 40%)
- end the test call and go back to step 5 until you get it right. You seem to get about half a second to adjust the volume for the notification/ringer
This also seems to set the in call default volume (and seems a touch quite to me), but you can still use the speaker icon to increase the volume while on the call.
After this, I still have the issue that other sounds loose fidelity, but at least my ear drums don't get blasted!
Hope it helps someone
