Error: Failed to Detect Your Microphone and Speaker.

Zoom has worked fine forever until recently. Now, when I try to "Join with Computer Audio," I get the error message: "Failed to detect your microphone and speaker. Please make sure your devices are properly connected."

This has been a problem for about a week. I have rebooted my work laptop many times since it started. I'm on Windows 10 with a Surface Pro. 

My microphone and speakers work perfectly fine in MS Teams and on Google Meet, so it seems like a ZOOM issue. Can anybody help? I got stuck when I tried Tech Support.

      Same here - no issues with Google Meet or Skype or anything else. No difference between using a Bluetooth device or a wired headphone or just my laptop´s speaker/microphone. Just suddenly saying they couldn´t detect the audio suddenly, and it would be temporarily fixed simply by unplugging and plugging the device back in. Reinstalled, updated, and my laptop is brand new.
