Teams headset test okay not working in call

Hi,

 

I have problems with using my headset in Teams. When I select the appropiate device and start a test conversation, both speaker and microphone work fine.

 

However if I start a real conversation, I cannot hear the other nor can the other hear me. The problem persists after restarting Teams and even after a full system restart.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks for your time!

    I'm having this same issue with a SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless, sound works fine for everything, and I can record fine from a Teams test call (via device settings) but once I'm in a real call the mic no longer functions.

      HI MikeKnut -- I see your comment is much more current than the original post... wondering if you were able to solve this? I'm having a similar problem.

        So after a LOT of wasted time, I'm fairly sure the issues lie with enumeration security settings and bluetooth on my system (corporate owned). I quite trying to connect the headset with Bluetooth and instead used the USB A -> USB C adapter cable and plugged my dongle into it, after authenticating the headset would be recognized and work normal in all apps.

    Woestijnrat have you been able to solve this? I've had a really hard time getting my Shokz headphones to operate properly with a new work PC. I do a test call within Teams, and it works fine... but when I do a real call on Teams, the other person can hear me, but I can't hear anyone.

     

    Would know what you did to solve this (if you have).

     

    Thanks!
