Hi @djw1980 , welcome to the Zoom Community!
Thank you for your contribution; I appreciate you explaining how silencing/disabling this feature would help you out. We do not have the ability to disable or enable the "Meet with Audio" feature in the Zoom desktop client currently, but this is a great suggestion! Our product team reviews all feature requests submitted via our feedback form https://zoom.us/feed. I highly encourage you to submit this feature.
Thank you,
Zoom Community Team
