have you tried starting up teams without microphone plugged in then plugging in microphone to see what comes up as configuration possibilities
This is the built-in mic.

Did you consider installing pipewire-pulse as well? Maybe Teams or the Browser work better with the Pulse Backend of Pipewire instead of ALSA, as Pulse is usually the standard?
I tried replacing pipewire-alsa with pipewire-pulse (based on Arch wiki), and installing them side-by-side as you recommended. Both these make the sound system stop working altogether.

I had an issue similar to this, microsoft teams (through web browser) kept cutting my microphone out. I believe it is an issue with using the web browser, I have heard if you use the desktop client the issue is eliminated.
I found restarting pipewire fixes the issue, for about 30 mins before it happens again.
Thanks Polarian, but this doesn't seem to be working. The teams pkg in aur says that Microsoft is discontinuing Linux desktop client in favour of the web app...
