Problem with audio
Using audio (mic/speaker) in MS-Teams on Thinlinc is fine, but needs some attention after powering on the terminal:
- Power on terminal
- Unplug / plug the headset
If thinlinc is already conntected: F8 > disconnect and log in again.
If MS-Teams still has a problem: quit MS-Teams and start MS-Teams again.
