MS Teams crashes *sometimes* during Video calls/meetings
Thanks, but I found what these instructions should say. (my updates are in BOLD)
Go into Control Panel and then “Programs and Features”
Remove the Realtek Audio Driver (Publisher Realtek Semiconductor Corp.) Program
It will prompt you to reboot the computer, do not reboot yet
Go into DEVICE MANAGER
Scroll down to Sound, Video and Game Controllers (expand)
Double Click "Realtek Audio"
Click Driver Tab
Click Update Driver
Click “Browse My Computer for Driver Software” (Locate and install driver software manually)
Click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
Uncheck “Show compatible hardware”
For “Manufacturer” select Microsoft
For “Model” select High Definition Audio Device Version [most recent date]
Click Next
A pop-up will state "Installing this device driver is not recommended because Windows cannot verify that it is compatible with your hardware..."
Click Yes to the pop-up
You will receive a screen that states "Windows has successfully updated your drivers"
Click Close
Click Close again

ecmillionWe are seeing this issue in Dell AIO systems the past few weeks. What happens is that the audio and video drivers temporarily disappear. The first TEAMS call goes fine for any duration. When subsequent call is attempted, the program hangs and resets itself. Then all you can do is CHAT, because it shows that there are missing audio / video devices. Support has not been helpful beyond fundamental troubleshooting despite sending in the logs. Even a clean install of the operating system (WIndows 10 Professional 1909) does not solve the issue. Any advice?
