What is Microsoft Audio Dock?

Innovative all-in-one audio solution

The Microsoft Audio Dock is a modern combination of a desktop dock and speaker designed to enhance your daily work and entertainment. It is a Microsoft Teams certified device that works seamlessly with Windows 10/11 and macOS, ensuring high-quality audio transmission for calls and meetings. The dual directional, noise-canceling microphone system clearly conveys your voice, while the integrated Omnisonic speakers provide clean, balanced sound. Additionally, the dock serves as a connection hub: it features HDMI 2.0 and three USB ports (2× USB-C, 1× USB-A), supports USB-C Power Delivery up to 60W for laptop charging, and video output via DP Alt Mode (up to 4K/60 through HDMI).

Whether you work standing or sitting, the Microsoft Audio Dock helps maintain a stable audio level and reduces cable clutter on your desk. When you’re not in meetings, you can also use this device for music – providing you with a single universal solution for work and leisure.

Device button layout and functions

Convenient control in all situations

The Microsoft Audio Dock is designed for intuitive control, even for first-time users. The top features five main buttons:

  • Microsoft Teams button: a quick action button that allows access to Teams features (e.g., raising your hand in a meeting).
  • Play / Pause: convenient for media control and call management.
  • Volume down button (–): allows precise volume reduction.
  • Volume up button (+): ensures sufficient volume for calls and music.
  • Mute button: quick microphone on/off toggle when silence is needed or you want to pause your voice temporarily.

The clear left-to-right button layout allows for quick responses to situations, and the Teams integration provides additional meeting controls directly from the device.
