On an HP Zbook studio G5 running Mint 19.1
Plantronics C3320 headset plugged into a USB port (on the laptop, not on the G3 docking station)
The teams_1.2.00.32451_amd64.deb package installs fine, and the test call works as expected.
However when calling a coworker, all he hears is very bad static that gets louder when I speak.
Same problem when input is set to the builtin microphone.
In sound preference:
Device set to Plantronic Blackwire 3220 Series Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958)
Input connector set to "Digital Input (S/PDIF)
In the Teams Settings->Devices, speaker and microphone are set to Plantronic Blackwire 3220 Series Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958)

Hi all, any permanent solution to the microphone this?
Using root does not still work for me, Teams can't use the microphone.

surprisingly, microphone input still doesn't work on Fedora 33, in the version 1.50, however it works literally everywhere else.

Don't EVER run any external applications program with root privileges (sudo) - this is opening a major vulnerability on your system

I got the same problem on my Arch Linux box. The mic was on and working with Jitsi and so on for example.
To make it work with Teams I simply add my user to the group audio this way: gpasswd -a myUser audio
I found that if I go into the system tray and crank-up the mic volume that I am able to get a very noisy voice from the external headset input with a standard apple white headset. It is distorted and seems to have a "helicopter" sound in the background. I have experienced similar helicopter sounds on a (different) windows box with teams several years ago. A cheap set of ear buds seem to work fine with the mic cranked-up. pavucontrol was helpful.

This problem solved me when I opened sound from start menu(actually linux mint menu) open sound then application, I seen that there is a sound volume level baar at zero value for Skype app, I increased that and sone, try it, say if it was the problem, I am using Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 5.0.5,
thank you

I'm experiencing the same issues.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 20.04 (added to all the relevant groups) and the mic doesn't work.
However - when I spin up a Windows 10 image on Virtualbox on the same hardware, Teams works perfectly.

For me, the "No Device" / "Custom Setup" issue was fixed by increasing the number of inotify workers in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches as teams apparantly requires these to list devices

I had the same issue here on Debian 11 after trying all the possibles fixes here and then found a solution (at least) for me. I launched pavucontrol and chose 'analog stereo duplex' output instead of 'analog stereo output' in settings tab, then restarted Teams ('On close, keep the application running' option unclicked). Now microphone is avalilable on devices tab.

I am also experiencing this issue and none of the fixes above work for me. If I open pavucontrol when Teams is running, it shows the internal microphone running with 'Skype' sic. but in the Teams call, the microphone is not working after the first few seconds. Zoom etc work fine so this is a Microsoft Teams specific issue that seems to have been around for about 2 years!

in my case on ubuntu it was any conflict between chrome and teams. After closing of chrome and teams and starting chrome after teams I could use headset in both apps again.

As of 24 August 2021, neither microphone nor speakers work reliably with MS Teams on our Linux Mint 20.1 desktop.
No other software (e.g. Zoom, TeamViewer etc) ever had any issues. This is clearly a bug in Microsoft Teams software for Linux. There is no reason why MS Teams software can't use the native Linux drivers for this, like Zoom and others.
Using the following Audio Adapters:
HDA-Intel - HDS Intel PCH
USB-Audio - Samson Go Mic

I have exactly the same problems (OS: Xubuntu bionic beaver):
My jabra evolve 65 headset works fine with all applications (including a TEAMS session with the Chromium browser), but not with the TEAMS for Linux application.
Obviously this application is not capable to work with linuy audio device settings.
The issue is apparently known, but ... still open

No audio (both microphone and playback) and video devices were detected, sometimes happens after plugging and unplugging hdmi monitor and/or usb audio card, even on already running teams. Then the only reboot restores devices access. Same in skype.
After that plugging and unplugging devices do nothing.
Other apps can use audio and video just fine
sudo trick do not work, app just did not starts.
Reinstalling do not help, deleting pulseaudio configs and restarting it do not help
