Hello, everyone. 👋

I experience a persistent issue with having no sound during the MS Teams meetings. Other meeting attendees can hear me and I don't hear them, which complicates communication significantly. The volume bar in the settings is also greyed out.

Usually, I access MS Teams meetings via the links that are shared with me. I don't have a Teams / Microsoft account either. I have tried to access meetings via browsers (Brave, LibreWolf with relaxed settings, even Chrome and Edge) and teams-for-linux app.

I have tested pretty much all the possible Sound profiles and only Duplex seems to be recognized by Teams (I see Built-In Audio Analog), just it seems inactive for output sound. The pavucontrol settings seem fine. The system sounds work fine. I can listen to music etc. with the current settings. The issue seems to be isolated to MS Teams specifically.

System.: Linux Fedora 44 kde

Hardware: Lenovo Y530 laptop.

Have you tried using qpwgraph? It's a GUI for managing the audio nodes. Perhaps it's not automatically connecting to your sources (or only connecting to your mic sources and not your headphone ones). You should be able to get it via flatpak.

Thanks for your response. Honestly, the solutionnwas very simple - to raise the volume. It seems like the "base" volume is lower on Linux and I needed to simply adjust the volume bar. ☺️

Yeah, sometimes a program's node also starts with the volume all the way down. Always good to check the easy stuff first!

Indeed. It took a few failed meetings, however. Learning with every step. ☺️

Certainly the best part!

Glad that we agree.
