✅ Common scenarios
| Apps/Features that cause issues | What can happen |
|---|---|
| Zoom, Teams, Google Meet | Mic input suppressed if voice is too soft |
| System-level noise filtering (Windows, macOS) | Voice chopped or not detected |
| Headphones or Bluetooth mics that have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature | Voice clarity lost due to aggressive filtering |
🛠What you can do
- Disable noise cancellation in system or app settings (e.g., Zoom > Audio > Uncheck “Suppress background noise”)
- Use a basic wired headset or built-in mic without filtering enhancements like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
- Speak directly into the mic and avoid whispering or trailing off.
- Run a mic test from your system settings or browser-based tools.
