Hello.
I am an interpreter who has worked on Zoom very frequently in the past four years. Recently, I have noticed that the original sound from the floor can be heard in the background when listening to my colleagues' relays.
Let's say the original sound is Japanese, and I am listening to my colleague's English. Although my colleague's voice is louder than the original sound, I can still hear it in the background, which is extremely distracting.
Other interpreters have told me that they have the same issue. So, I can safely say that it isn't a problem with my headset (Plantronics Blackwire 8225).
Is there an audio setting I can enable to prevent this situation?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

@Diéresis - Per the support article, this is by design. The thinking is that it is important to also hear the tone and cadence of the original speaker.
