Windows 10: Teams doesnt change the Audio device in WVD

Hello, we have recently change to WVD desktops, when in teams if I unplug my headphones and replug them in, Teams will not switch the audio device automatically so then if someone calls its through my speakers until I change it myself.

Microsoft Teams Audio faint for multiple users

We've had a number of users who recently received new devices complain of faint microphone output.

Devices affected

• 3 x New Surface Pro 7
• 2 x New Surface Pro Book 3

I'll add steps we've taken to test the device at the bottom.

So far, we believe it may be user-specific as we have been unable to replicate the issue using a local admin account.

These devices were provisioned ~1 week ago. Users raised the issue shortly after they were delivered.

There is nothing physically wrong with the devices. No bangs, scuffs, cracks, screen protectors, etc.

Steps taken so far:

On end-user profile

• Current call is done via Teams and mic audio is definitely quite low
• Checked Mic settings and are already all at max
• No Booster available for Mic
• No additional settings in Teams to enhance mic audio
• Ran Windows Updates and no updates found
• Checked Device Manager and is up to date there as well
• Computer was just rebooted not too long ago too

• Checked Recording sound options
  
• Reset sound options to default
• Troubleshoot Realtek microphone - didnt pick up anything
• uninstalled microphone realtek audio drivers
• restarted computer - tested on Teams - still very faint

On Local Admin profile

• Tested mic via camera app and teams call - Could not replicate the issue.

Please let me know if there's any additional information that would help find a solution.

 

Audio device issue

Hi Venu,

Incompatible audio device drivers are known to operate against the method that Windows 10 follows. First, uninstall the audio driver, then follow these steps to resolve the issue:

• Right-click on the name of your PC at the top of the list of devices in
  Device Manager.
• Select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the device driver, or download and install the latest version from the manufacturer’s website.

Let us know how it goes.

 

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.
