The worst is that one person that seems to exist on every team whose microphone sounds like it's being filtered through Satan's asshole, and they do nothing to attempt to improve the situation no matter how many times you tell them their audio is incomprehensible.

Your company should provide better audio equipment for those users.

They do, this guy insists on using his phone to join Zoom calls
I believe there are ways to disable phone for Zoom calls ... but that needs buy-in (you can disable audio conferencing, and say it's for "security reasons").
Surely a manager directly approaching the individual and saying “don’t do that” is a better approach?
99.9% of these problems could be solved by a manager doing their job, but that's the problem.
