How do I disable Microphone auto adjust in Lync? Skype offers such options, would like to use the same in Lync.thx

 

 

I've never come across a way to do that in the Lync client. Unless someone corrects me, I don't think it's possible.

Hi Tech,

You could also try as below.

1. Go to Lync - Options - Audio Device, and customize your Microphone to the proper level.
2. Go to Control Panel - Sound - Recording tab, open your Microphone Properties window, switch to Levels tab, and set your Microphone to the proper level.
3. Go to Control Panel - Sound - Communications tab, you could choose Do nothing when Windows detects communications activity.

Hope helps.

Hi,

the above discribed solution does not work for me.

Is there any way to disable the auto level function in Lync? Other programs like Skype still have that feature and in some situations (e.g. when transferring music or videos with music in the background) this feature is really necessary.

Is there a regkey for this purpose?

Thanks Marten

Hi,

We have the same issue... Lync 2013 takes control of the mic and ignores the mic Vol settings i did. With it's autogain, which is not configurable and not able to disable, it "corrects" the mic vol lvl dynamically within a call (turns it up). after the call has ended, the mic turn back to low lvl (like my default settings). We tested many brand new headsets (lync compatible), but all have the same issue, when a call has been started. so lync kills every headset technology with noise reduction and whatever. So we need urgently an autogain disable option. The mic sensibility setting, which i made to my mic in lync, has no function.

The main issue is, that ppl within the room will be catched by the mic autogain and that is really bad.... what about privacy, MS?
