Unable to select microphone or speaker device in Microsoft Teams (Windows 10)
I posted about this on the regular Microsoft community forums and someone pointed out that their issue was that Teams seemingly has an incompatibility Elgato's 4K60 Pro Mk2 Capture Card, and this was definitely the issue for me.
No solution still, other than simply removing the cards from my system (not really an option)... so the workaround is just using the browser version of Teams which is inferior, especially for screen sharing and video calls. Hopefully they can fix it sometime, but seeing the volume of people coming forward with this bug I'm sure there is a variety of other hardware that is incompatible.
Nevertheless, quite odd especially considering that said hardware works with the browser version of Teams which must share almost entirely the same code base.
Microphone does not work with Teams
Sometimes it starts working but most of the time it does not work
However it works fine every time I test on Google
Hi Priyank2065 ,
Per the thread - in my case it was a matter of uninstalling ChromaCam and uninstalling/reinstalling Teams. So... check that you don't have a camera "app" that might be causing the issue (stick with a generic cam... The only thing that ChromaCam allowed was custom/tailored backgrounds, which was nice, but not worth crashing Teams...).
