"Failed to detect your speaker. Please make sure your speaker is property connected."
On a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 with AirPod Pros Gen 2. Issue started when I opened up Zoom (6.6.6.) this morning and was greeted with a "Failed to detect your speaker. Please make sure your speaker is property connected." Sometimes it's "Failed to detect your microphone. Please make sure your microphone is properly connected."
Since then, I have done the following recommended fixes:
- Updated my Windows (11).
- Updated my audio, Bluetooth, and system drivers using Lenovo Vantage.
- Updated my Zoom.
- Uninstalled/reinstalled Zoom Workplace.
- Disconnected/reconnected my AirPods.
- Disconnected AirPods from all devices.
- Factory reset my AirPods.
- Reset my laptop at least five times throughout all of this.
- Ensured AirPods are selected as both microphone and speaker in Zoom, trying both "same as system" and "headphones" (they work as both outside of zoom).
- Ensured my laptop is giving access to Zoom to use my AirPods as a speaker/microphone (via system settings, Vantage, and Zoom).
- Turned off the setting that manually adjusts microphone volume in Zoom.
- Turned off the system setting that allows app exclusive control over the audio.
Not sure if this is a Lenovo/ThinkPad or Zoom issue or a combination of the both. Sometimes when I test the audio in Zoom it works sometimes it doesn't. However, outside of Zoom (for example, if I test the audio through the system settings) I hear it no problem.
I just opened my Macbook and my AirPods flawlessly connected and worked on Zoom.
