MS Teams crashes *sometimes* during Video calls/meetings
- Nov 19, 2020
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

Problem is resolved. On occasion if the issue presents itself again, it will require changing from the native REALTEK driver to the Microsoft High Definition Audio Driver.
This has worked 100% of the time so far. Microsoft has some homework to do on this issue.
