Hello, everyone. 👋

I experience a persistent issue with having no sound during the MS Teams meetings. Other meeting attendees can hear me and I don’t hear them, which complicates communication significantly. The volume bar in the settings is also greyed out.

Usually, I access MS Teams meetings via the links that are shared with me. I don’t have a Teams / Microsoft account either. I have tried to access meetings via browsers (Brave, LibreWolf with relaxed settings, even Chrome and Edge) and teams-for-linux app.

I have tested pretty much all the possible Sound profiles and only Duplex seems to be recognized by Teams (I see Built-In Audio Analog), just it seems inactive for output sound. The pavucontrol settings seem fine. The system sounds work fine. I can listen to music etc. with the current settings. The issue seems to be isolated to MS Teams specifically.

System.: Linux Fedora 44 kde

Hardware: Lenovo Y530 laptop.

    I use Fedora and Teams for work. The official teams app for Linux was deprecated, MS recommends using a browser and/or the PWA. I use Google Chrome for my MS apps because it seems to work a little better. I have the standard workstation version of Fedora 44 installed, not KDE, but I actually use Sway for my WM instead of GNOME, I just have it available for a backup. I do not have audio issues like this. I recommend you clear all the MS cookies and double check the browser audio access settings for teams, usually available from a button on the left side of the address bar. The volume bar being grayed out is a sign that the teams web app isn’t able to see an audio device.
