Microphone is not working

Hello

I have a Problem with the Microphone in Teams on Linux:

  • Teams is complaining, that the microphone is not working.
  • In the device configuration I can select multiple microphones.
  • Teams shows no level for any microphone.
  • In the Pulse Audio Volume Control I can see level for all microphones.
  • I also see the Recording Channel of Teams (with label "Skype" :-) ) and it receives level.

Video is working fine.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings,
Anton Hattendorf

    I'm having the same issue, the mic works fine in all other apps except Teams. Ubuntu 20.04. Teams latest version whatever that is as of the date of this comment. I can't even see an about page in the Ubuntu version of Teams.

    I seem to hve gotten my BT-headset (Plantronics, voyager-focus-uc) working (on my Debian-bullseye system) for a while with:
    pactl load-module module-detect
    but some two or three months ago that stopped to be a definite, predictable solution.
    Now the faulty connection with Pulseaudio's stack also often coincides with not detecting my logitech webcam any more (C510) so the teams seems have trouble handling USB.

    Is there a flag to start teams up with some verbosity messages so that we can see what teams is looking for (and at what time/stage of it's startup)?

    It's really annoying, please fix it asap. Where is the response from dev level to this issue? More than two months already without any progress at all.
