low volume message, annoying
Same problem here. This has been an outstanding bug for over a year. When will Microsoft fix this?
- I'm still seeing the same issue as well.
Bump.Microsoft made a really stupid assumption with Teams - that every person's audio input happens on channel 1.
I also use a Focusrite interface with a microphone connected on channel 2. Zoom and Slack have no problem, everyone could always hear me just fine. Teams - no sound at all. Finally I used audio software (Loopback) on my Mac to create a new virtual audio device called "Teams Input" that simply routes audio from channel 2 (where my mic plugs into the Focusrite) to channel 1. Then in Teams preferences, select "Teams Input" as the microphone input. Problem solved.
Or I could reorganise all my gear to satisfy Microsoft's channel 1 assumption... nah.
I cannot say enough good things about Loopback audio software for Mac. Unfortunately it's not free, (or cheap). But if you already have professional audio hardware you will find a use for it. Another way you might find it useful is with the Rocksmith game, naming a virtual audio device "Rocksmith USB Cable Adapter" allows you to route amplifier or guitar to the game without using the special Rocksmith USB cable.
