  • Hi there, lets see if we can solve this!

    I guess you are new to reporting issues, so lets clear some things up

    Usually, I access MS Teams meetings via the links that are shared with me

    That is irrelevant and doesnt tell us HOW you use teams.

    Teams is a web app, which browser? There is also an electron wrapper which basically gives you a chromium browser with a webapp with elevated privileges and more local storage. I would highly recommend to only use Teams in Firefox or Brave as it is malware and will absolutely try to spy on you.

    And then the next question, how did you install the app? KDE discover shows you the source, so please tell us.

    If it is a flatpak (which I assume), try this

    flatpak list --installed --app
    

    In case you run the electron app as a flatpak (if there are no big reasons for this please just use it in the browser), this might be a pulseaudio issue.

    The microphone might be accessed via pipewire (which is good for privacy as otherwise any app could spy on you without you knowing) or directly via hardware somehow.

    In systemsettings, to to application permissions and flatpak permissions (they hid that away which is annoying). You can just search for “flatpak” in the menu and it leads you to the settings page.

    There you could see if the app (which I dont recommend) has no pipewire access.

    It might be a different issue totally. You also only mentioned teams without mentioning anything similar. If you install Brave or other apps, does sound output work?

    Have you tried selecting something else than “duplex” for output?







  • Most notable here are smartwatches, fitness trackers, wireless earbuds and other so-called ‘wet devices’, which as GSMArena also notes is an area where having a user-replaceable battery might affect features like being water-resistant. Something which is also relevant for e.g. outdoor wireless speakers. There’s also a new exemption for smartphones, where if its battery retains at least 83% of its original capacity after 500 charge cycles, battery replacement has to be only replaceable by professionals. Which is probably code for ‘glue, hotplates and prying tools’.

    Considering just how daft of an idea built-in batteries are, this is somewhat disappointing to see. While it’s understandable that ‘wet devices’ get such broad exemptions, it should be noted here that advanced technologies like gaskets are neither complicated nor expensive. You can even hand the average user a tube of RTV silicone and let them go to town on a part in the happy knowledge that there’s never such a thing as ‘too much’ RTV silicone.

    It is likely that there was some pressure from the industry on the EU to not change too much, but at the very least us happy few in the EU will be getting a new Nintendo Switch 2 with easily replaced battery in both the main unit and its controllers. For the average rechargeable device you keep kicking around the house this should also still apply as long as its manufacturer cannot squeeze it into one of these exemption categories.

    The Right to Repair battles shall continue.
