Windows 10: Microphone turns on randomly. - The Culprate Teams

I installed OS 11 on a new laptop, new user, everything... the Mic was behaving but as soon as I started using MS Teams, the Mic turns on randomly, it doesn't matter when or what app. Discord not in a chat room Edge, or LibreWolf, Fallout 4 game, my Email, Microsoft Word... or even locking the screen and coming back after dinner and the Mic is on. This is an issue that needs to be resolved, this makes me worried that even when I don't want to, MS is attempting to listen to me... I may be paranoid, but let's be honest, Apple already does this with their phone, why should I not have contro

Teams and my microphone

Hello GrahamColls,

My Name is Paul one of the Community Expert and a Windows & Teams user like you. I do apologize that the application doesn't recognize your Microphone. Let's try to check the TEAMS settings first and lets see what is the default Mic that is set.

Steps:

* On MS Teams click your profile on the upper right corner (With Profile Picture).

* Choose Settings.

* Go to Devices and choose your preferred device such as Audio and Microphone.

* You may also want to visit the Permissions under setting sand make sure MS Teams allows your Audio, Microphone and Camera.

If the above steps did not resolve the issue kindly get back to me.

Regards,

 

Internal microphone and Microsoft teams

I recently attended a meeting on Microsoft Teams and I could not get the microphone to unmute. It seemed to recognize the microphone as it was listed and chosen but would not unmute. It kept sending me to the camera icon which had nothing listed to do with the microphone. It works fine in zoom.

 

My microphone randomly turning off.

When I'm working with my computer on windows 10 there are moments when my microphone turning off randomly in levers tap in microphone properties. Also, when my mic turns off all sound disappear for a second.
