    The Microsoft Modern USB-C Speaker is not explicitly mentioned in the context provided, but it is important to note that certain peripherals may not be supported when using Microsoft Teams on a virtual desktop. For Teams optimizations, it is recommended to use Teams certified headsets and devices. If the speaker is not recognized or supported, it may be due to the specific configuration and compatibility of USB devices in a virtual desktop environment.

    For optimal performance, ensure that your virtual desktop is configured correctly for USB redirection and that the speaker is compatible with the Teams application running in that environment.

    Hello @Saurabh Gada

    Welcome to the Q&A Community! 

    Thank you for reaching out regarding your Microsoft Modern USB‑C Speaker not working with Teams on your virtual desktop. 

    To ensure that your audio device is properly recognized in the virtual desktop environment, may I know if you have followed the below steps? 

    Verify Permissions on the Local Machine 

    Open the Windows Settings on your physical device and confirm that the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) client has permission to access audio devices, including the microphone and speakers. This configuration is essential because it allows audio redirection from the local device to the virtual session. 

    Check Permissions Inside the Virtual Desktop 

    Within the virtual desktop session, verify that Microsoft Teams has permission to access audio devices. This can be confirmed in the Teams settings under the Devices section. If Teams does not have the required permissions, the speaker will not function correctly. 

    If either of these permissions is missing, Microsoft Teams will not recognize the audio device in the virtual environment. 

    Please also check for certified device in this official article: Personal peripherals for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn 

    In case the USB-C speaker is not officially supported and certified for use in virtual desktop environments, please consider submitting feedback to Microsoft through the Feedback Portal

    I appreciate your understanding and kindness. Kindly let me know if you need further assistance.
