EXTERNAL MONITOR CONNECTED TO IPAD 9TH GEN

Hi. I am about to give up on this idea. I've been working for days trying to fix an issue where only my voice can be heard on zoom meetings. None of the participants' voices can be heard. This is ONLY WHEN USING MY ADAPTER AND EXTERNAL MONITOR.

I bought a brand-new LG monitor and OEM Apple lightning to HDMI, and brand-new cables are being used, both HDMI and lightning cable. I've gone over sounds and settings and can't find anything else to tweak.

When I installed the adapter, it told me to wait until it was finished installing. It never said it did finish, so I rebooted at some point. When the iPad came back on and I started a meeting, I could hear the participants. When I closed that meeting and tried again, no participants' voices could be heard going forward.

Today I started off by restarting my iPad. I had to disconnect everything because, once again, no one could be heard on my end. Once I disconnected the adapter from my iPad and rejoined the meeting, everything was fine.

I have researched my tail off and can't find a solution.  So before I return everything, including the new monitor, does anyone have any suggestions? It DID work twice, but then not again. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you in advance.

I am using iPad 9th Gen.
