Microphone is not working with Microsoft Teams
This is my office workstation, so I have to use Microsoft Teams... My sound system is setup using ALSA and pipewire-alsa. I use Teams on Chromium web browser. The problem is, the other end can't hear anything I say. When I try to use Slack on the same browser, microphone is working fine. What is odd is that with Slack on Chromium, under microphones, I can see two options: "Default" and "sof-hda-dsp, -Default Audio Device". On Teams I can only see the latter. "Default" is the one working for Slack. The `wpctl status` yields the following output: PipeWire 'pipewire-0' [0.3.66, sadeep@quix, cookie:3671373507] └─ Clients: 33.

Hello, 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. Sorry I can't help any more, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian@polarian.dev

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. On 2023-03-10 11:29:57, L. Rose wrote:

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. On 2023-03-10 10:14:14, Polarian wrote:

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... -- Regards, Sadeep PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E
It may be time to try an external microphone Microsoft and/or Linux likes. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed Howdershelt (Author, 1940) . On Mon, 13 Mar 2023, Sadeep Madurange wrote:

I resolved this by replacing pipewire with pulseaudio. I no longer have to boot into Windows just before a teams meeting. Thanks everyone for suggestions. -- Regards, Sadeep PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E
