This is what worked for me.
I am using a USB microphone.

The problem just happens when I'm accessing the device settings in Teams.

I found this solution the fixes the problem while we wait for a permanent fix from Microsoft.

This does only work for people who are able to run an application as administrator on their computer.

    mortenhh I was able to eventually get the Visual A-B cable work around to work. I just needed to reboot after install and then set the levels correctly.
