Ubuntu 18.04
Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.16851 (64 bit).

Microphone is not working in Teams meetings but always works when making test calls.
Microphone is working in all other Apps: Skype, Zoom, sound recording, etc...
Tried USB, Bluetooth and direct connect mics with same result.

Microphone seems to work in Teams meetings if I start Teams with SUDO.
Permission problems? Why does mic work when doing a test call?
Seems to me that the "Test call" function code copied into Teams APP from Skype (Mic with Skype always works)

cheers
Paul

    Hi PaulGor-6138!

    It seems a known issue in Teams for Linux client and you can find it from this link:
    https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/troubleshoot/known-issues/linux-known-issues#known-issues

    Some customers provide the workaround for this issue. You can try to run the following command to see if it works for you.

    sudo pulseaudio -D
    sudo teams
