Use this for sound, microphone and camera issues. Most are the wrong device selected or an app permission — real hardware faults are rarer.
Speaker: select the correct output; keep volume ~70% (100% distorts many laptop speakers); update the audio driver; test with headphones.
Microphone: check the hardware mic-mute key; set the right Input device; allow mic access (Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone) and in the meeting app.
Webcam: clean the lens; improve lighting; a blue/pink tint is auto white-balance — update the camera driver; select the right camera in the app; allow camera access.
If a fault remains after driver updates and good lighting, raise a ticket.
