    I found the problem for my headset suddenly not working in Teams.
    After a update (Teams, Not Windows 10) I had to give the app permission again.

    Hope this helps

sun1247 My mic suddenly stopped working in Teams (and only Teams) 

 

I fixed this by turning off "Automatically Adjust Mic Sensitivity" 

 

You can find this setting in Settings -> Devices between Microphone selection and "Make a Test Call."

 

As soon as I turned this off, my mic worked again.

ChrisWeakley  I had the same issue and your fix of turning off 'automatically adjust mic sensitivity' worked.  Many thanks.
