Audio issues while playing game and sharing screen on zoom

I hope you're all doing well. I've been encountering a bit of a challenge lately and was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. When I try to share my screen during a Sigma Free Fire gaming session on Zoom, I've noticed some annoying voice issues.

The audio seems to be distorted or unclear, making it difficult for others to hear me properly. I've tried adjusting my settings both in the game and on Zoom, but the problem persists. Has anyone else faced a similar issue or perhaps found a solution to improve the audio quality while screen sharing during gaming sessions?

Try going to settings > audio >Audio Profile (before or during a meeting)  and turn "Original sound for musicians" ON. Once that is turned on and the meeting is running go to the upper right corner of the Zoom window and click on "Original Sound for Musicians: off" in order to change it so it says "on".

Thank you so much for your help!

Hey CharlisRoye, I understand how frustrating distorted audio can be during gaming. To fix this, try enabling "Original Sound for Musicians" in Zoom’s audio settings, disabling Background Noise Suppression, and setting Echo Cancellation to "Auto." Ensure Free Fire outputs audio to the same device Zoom is using and consider using an external USB mic or gaming headset for better clarity. Also, instead of sharing your full screen, try sharing only the game window and enabling "Share Computer Sound." These steps should improve your audio while screen sharing—let me know if they help!
