Cannot clearly hear participants in room

Hi, I live remote from a non-profit group I belong to.  There are monthly meetings in a conference room setting.  The leader of the group is the Zoom Host, with her laptop.  I am the only one dialing into Zoom.

Except for the Host, I cannot clearly hear anyone speaking.  It is muffled, and most words are undiscernible...how can this be corrected so my meeting experience is more productive?

Thank you, Beth
