microphone is too quiet for colleagues to hear me

Occasionally, when my Mac has been on for longer than a day or two, when I go into a Teams meeting, the mic volume is too low for them to hear me. I reset and it's fine, but there's no way to control it's volume properly.

In the microphone settings, it says volume is on highest, but when I speak, the mic vol meter just doesn't react at all to it in the same way as after I reset. I've also gone into the 'audio midi' settings, and nothing changes it here either. It seems like a bug.

I've also checked all the security settings etc. Teams allows the microphone.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

If it is a third party app issue— does not sound compatible...(?) with your old OS X.

< Teams meeting>

if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…

Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

It doesn’t seem to be any app issue, but more like the age-old bug where the speakers would occasionally change their panning at will.

I’ve been into all the settings, and can’t find a single controller that is causing this low/no volume to happen.

even in my sound settings, the mic isn’t picking anything up on the levels 🤷🏻‍♂️.

but a restart seems to fix it.
