Usb problems with Teams
Hi!
I was experiencing similar problems and I think I found a solution.
I'm working on a Macbook Air and my USB-audiointerface is actually a mixer (Allen & Heath QU 16).
- I turned on Teams and selected the Qu 16 as my audio device for both speaker and microphone.
- I turned on GarageBand (any other DAW should work) and enabled the tracks to display the Record-button.
- I made 3 tracks for 3 different inputs on the mixer. I assigned each track to have a different input channel (7, 8 and 13).
- For testing I used a dynamic mic, a condenser mic and an electric piano.
- I then activated the rec button on each channel and Voila! Now I can use multiple channels on Teams meetings and calls.
I'll test this with another USB-interface (Steinberg UR22 mkII) and PC on Friday. I will also test with Teams live-event next Monday and try to remember to report back.
BR,
Juho
Juhoelli I really appreciate the work-around! Thank you - I haven't been able to get it to work yet, but I'll keep trying. I'm also a music teacher who is trying to use multiple mics for audio input in my Teams meeting with students. I'm using a Soundcraft ui24R successfully to record into a DAW (Logic) and as FOH for a PA system. I can see the Soundcraft in the Teams setup options but I can't get it to register the input yet, even when trying the method offered.
I noticed that it's been a while since there was activity on this topic. Has anyone received any official response from Microsoft on this one? It seems silly to need the work-around here when other programs facilitate this no problem, so I'm hoping there's a solution in the works. Any news?
Thanks a million!
