How to use Foniks with Microsoft Teams

Teams keeps its audio devices in one place. Choose the two cables there and every call and meeting uses them.

Step by step

1
Open Teams device settings
Click Settings and more (…) next to your picture, choose Settings, then Devices. During a meeting, open More › Settings › Device settings.
2
Choose cable 1 as the microphone
Set Microphone to BlackHole 2ch on macOS or CABLE Output on Windows.
3
Choose cable 2 as the speaker
Set Speaker to BlackHole 16ch on macOS or CABLE-A Input on Windows.
4
Start Foniks and join
Press Start in Foniks, then join the call. Use “Make a test call” in Teams to check both directions.

Setting	macOS	Windows
Foniks › Send my translated voice to	`BlackHole 2ch`	`CABLE Input`
Call app › Microphone	`BlackHole 2ch`	`CABLE Output`
Call app › Speaker	`BlackHole 16ch`	`CABLE-A Input`
Foniks › Call audio comes from	`BlackHole 16ch`	`CABLE-A Output`

The translated voice is muffled: Set Noise suppression to Low in the same Devices page.
Teams switches back to your headset: Turn off the option that follows the system default device, or set the cables again after plugging in a headset.
