Teams Meeting Audio Silent on First Launch Confuses New Users
New Microsoft Teams users miss the start of meetings because incoming audio is muted by default with no visible or audible alert to prompt action. The app requires users to locate and unmute speaker audio internally, a non-obvious step for first-time users with no onboarding guidance. This silent failure mode causes first impressions of Teams to involve missing meeting content entirely.

surfaced semanticallyMicrosoft Teams Calls Produce No Audio Despite Visible Speaker Activity
Users in Microsoft Teams calls can see participants speaking but receive no audio output, regardless of which audio settings or devices they switch between. This affects the core functionality of video/audio meetings and renders calls unusable. The problem appears to be a client-side audio routing or device recognition failure within the Teams application.
