Teams Audio Not Working But Fine in Zoom
It’s the classic WFH nightmare: Your audio is perfect in Zoom, but when you switch to Microsoft Teams, no one can hear you. Againly fixes this automatically by repairing the "SlimCore" audio engine that Teams uses uniquely.
Why this happens
- Electron API Conflict: Teams uses the Electron framework, which can sometimes fail to map audio devices that standard apps (like Zoom) see clearly.
- Teams V2 Privacy Lock: The "New" Teams requires separate privacy permissions from the "Classic" version.
- Profile Corruption: Your Teams user profile has saved a "phantom" audio device as your primary input.
Fix it manually
- Clear Teams Cache: Fully quit Teams, delete
%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams, and restart. - Check App Permissions: Windows Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone > Ensure Teams is allowed "Let desktop apps access your microphone."
- Switch to Web Version: To verify, try the Teams Web app in Edge to see if the issue is with the desktop client.
