Question
Zoom exits immediately on start
A few days ago Zoom started exiting immediately whenever I try to start it. No error, and barely even any time to see the window before it closes itself.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Graphics: NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650]
Sound: Alesis Multimix 4 (although there's also a mic in my webcam but it's not the one selected)
Video and sound work for other applications.
I've tried restarting, reinstalling using snap, Software Center, and downloading the .deb. The behavior is the same in all cases.
The following is logged in .zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log each time:
ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line:
Start subprocess: /opt/zoom/zoom sucessfully, process pid: 20768

I tried running : $ pulseaudio
the output is:
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
I also tried running: $ ps aux | grep pulse
and the output is

I'm very confused about what's happening here and why. Does anyone know how to address this?
