So I downloaded Microsoft Teams this morning for some college registration stuff. Now that I am done with that, I looked into OBS and Discord to see what my microphone volume levels were doing, and it is incredibly quiet. It was not like this before installing Microsoft teams. Whenever I do a test call, the volume goes back to normal but then immediately goes back to nearly inaudible after the call ends. How do I fix this?

@ThereseSolimenoI have the same exact problem as @Jariahm9956. My microphone volume is incredibly low and it wasn't like this until I installed Teams. I have tried doing what you asked and it didn't work, I even uninstalled Teams from my PC and my microphone is still quiet. Teams did something to my microphone and now no one can hear me.

A bit late but this worked for me @swagphoenix69 . I had the exact same problem.
Start > Sound Settings > Device properties (microphone) > Adjust volume to 100.
Hope I helped.

Me and a friend both have this issue. I have actually had this issue for more than a year now and my friend has had it for about a week now. Our microphone volume is low on all applications except Teams.
We both have our microphone volume set to 100% in Windows and everywhere I ask how to fix this people just say to set it to 100% despite me clearly stating it's already set to that. I have gone through 3 pages of a dozen or so searches searching for a solution and I feel like I'm in a big room of parrots yelling the same thing over and over and over.
I can become barely hearable (but still very quiet) if I set my gain to an insane level (95%+) on my physical audio interface, which is making the components quite hot so this solution is not preferable and is probably bad for my hardware. Before I first used Teams it used to be easily loud enough at about 50-60% gain.
