Unable to select microphone or speaker device in Microsoft Teams (Windows 10)
- Jul 16, 2020
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.
FWIW my problem was with VMWare Horizon taking exclusive control of my devices. The only resolution was to uninstall the VMWare Horizon agent from my PC. After that Teams was one again able to connect to my camera, mic, and speakers.
