There are so many possible reasons why a single user is less audible
than others.

Personally I have no overview how the "browser volume" influence the
system volume settings. Is that OS- and browser-specific?

Therefore I suspect there's no easy way around teaching users to get
their microphone setup right. And yes, I'd appreciate if there would be
such a solution I can control centrally.
