Teams users have been reporting this microphone issue for over a year now but Microsoft is yet to roll out an update to fix the problem. Related: How to see everyone on Microsoft Teams How do you fix this?

A user in a Teams UserVoice had also mentioned that they tried out different audio equipment ranging from a webcam mic to Bluetooth headphones and a condenser mic but the problem still persists and Teams continues to modulate their microphone volume. In some cases, the issue appears to set the microphone volume to zero, completing muting the person’s voice and thus leading to their voice not heard at all. Because of this, the user has to adjust the volume levels every time before they make a call which could be really annoying in the long term. What this means is, if you had set your microphone volume to say 40% but Teams later readjusts it to 75%, the volume levels will still now stay at 75% even when you’re no longer in the call. Because of this issue, the microphone picks up background sounds when a user isn’t actively speaking and even after a call, the volume levels don’t get readjusted on its own. While using the Microsoft Teams app on their PC, several users are reporting that Teams automatically adjusts the volume levels of the microphone according to its sensitivity. What is the Microsoft Teams microphone volume issue all about?
