  • 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?










  • I have tested an S9 and it was full of preinstalled malware. No recent one but there is no reason to believe things have changed.

    The USB port is disabled if water gets in. GrapheneOS used the feature to allow users to turn it off, always or while locked. That is actual security and it doesnt break the device it users want to use other (open source) operating systems on them.

    LTE-only is relevant because 2G and 3G are insecure. They were part of the attack chain used by governments to install the Pegasus Spyware on phones, along with browsers allowing HTTP traffic and more things that are dealt with by GrapheneOS.

    Google has implemented very few of their features to work on regular Android, riddled with proprietary spyware.

    Dont forget

    • your sources are really old
    • they are very vague
    • Samsungs mechanism is a middle finger for user freedom, that is well known and a reason why GrapheneOS cant support their devices
    • if your phone has Meta spyware, samsung spyware, microsoft spyware and google spyware preinstalled, “military grade” (which translates to “good enough and cheap”) is not relevant at all
