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 with wayland and use teams at work. The non official desktop program is completely unusable.

    What I end up doing when I have a call is open it both in Firefox and chrome and check which one works first. I’ll open it on my phone as well in case neither works. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

    I found that audio does not work if you connect headphones after the browser was started.

    In general my solution is to push to use jitsi anytime I can.
