Can't hear anything but Teams
hi, jwschwaner. I had the same problem, but i found an easy fix, all you have to do is go into the sound configuration screen, and select the stereo mode (instead of handsfree ag) of you headset as default, that should fix the problem
After being in distress for 3 months and finding ways to fix this problem, I found it Eureka!!! I can now sleep.
1. Search for "Find and fix problems with playing sound" (it will in in your Control Panel). Run the troubleshooter.
2. Or go to System > Sound > All sound devices > Properties
Either via Step 1 or 2, ensure to shut the damit "Enhance audio". Turn this bloody setting off, uncheck, disable it, punch it in the face.
This is turned on by MS Teams to help make your audio better, but ruins everything else. Enjoy your day buddy you got this, you can now use your system speakers back again. Love you!
- Thank you for this tip. I have been trying for weeks to solve a similar issue. My USB Jabra headset and bluetooh OpenEar Solo only worked with Teams on my Win 11 CPU. Neither worked with other apps like Chrome streaming audio or YouTube. They both worked fine on other devices. Running the Trouble shooter for Audio output devices got me to a dialog to choose the output device I was having problems with which opened an Earbud properties window where I could see that the playback volume was way down low. Increase the volume and both devices now work. Wish I could figure out another way to get to that earbud properties window, but you can't find it by searching Settings.
- I just signed up to say thank you so much for posting this. You are a life saver! Thank you for being so wonderful!
Roooney Glad to know that it worked for you! Have a nice day.
