AirPods 4 ANC - low call volume on MS Teams on Windows 11

The issue is remains to be the same as was on AirPods 2 Pro and it was resolved mostly by just increasing volume on an AirPods steam. However, AirPods 4 doesn't have this option.

I've tried to play with all posible audio settings in Windows 11 and MS Teams but got no luck so far.

Any help here is much appreciated.

I had the same problem with my new airpods 4 without ANC, ... took a lot of troubleshooting and here's what worked for me:


  • Go to Device Manager
  • Expand "System Devices"
  • Find AirPods Hands-Free AG (Mine was labeled "Airpods Pro Hands-Free AG")
  • Right click and open up "Properties"
  • Click the "Driver" tab and "Disable Device"
  • Restart PC and it works

Hi everybody, I just got my new Airpods 4 ANC, and immediately experienced the same issue with MS Teams. This is unacceptable. I tried all the suggestions and it simply doesn't help. I want to hear properly and I want others to hear me properly. I am not willing to compensate with microphone being switched to another device. Apple and Microsoft please fix this issue! This is an insult to us as your customers.

This is absurd!


We made a huge investment in cutting-edge technology from two of the biggest tech companies in the world, and the headset simply doesn’t work!!!! It’s the basics!!!


Are we, the customers, the ones who have to run dozens of tests to find a solution? Where is Apple and Microsoft’s support?


Are we supposed to rely on workarounds?

I also had the issue with my new Airpods 4 without ANC. Very low volume for the people on the other Teams side. I could work perfectly with the web version of Teams, there the volume was normal.

Apparently this has been solved somehow, maybe with some Windows 11 updates. Now I can hear the people loud and clear in my Airpods. Very happy with this, since it is for work, and I did not want to buy other (low quality) earbuds for this. I had already 2 earbuds broken in 2.5year time. Hope these Airpods last longer.

So, I didn't apply any of the above suggestions, the issue went away.
