Failed to detect your microphone and speaker. Please make sure your devices are properly connected.

Every time I join a meeting or start a meeting, I get an error. 

 

Error: Failed to detect your microphone and speaker. Please make sure your devices are properly connected.

 

This occurs 95% of the time. Occurs when using laptop in-built speakers or wired headphones. No issues while using wireless earphones.

 

Need a solution or a workaround for this asap. I am unable to attend classes and meetings on zoom using my laptop due to this.

    the same thing is happening to me too! I have uninstalled and re-installed zoom and it still does not work. And zoom is the problem because the voice recorder app works just fine. Did you find any solution?

    Hi.  I had the problem resolved by Zoom's Engineering support.  It was the Laptops specific audio driver that was not working.  Although when I first logged this issue the drivers had been verified, now that I reinstall the driver today things work correctly.

     

    My Laptop is an ASUS (other models will have different driver sites - use the manufacturers site) On the ASUS driver site - https://www.asus.com/us/support/Download-Center/ be very precise about the model number.  In my case it needed to be - Zenbook 13 OLED (UX325, 11th Gen Intel).  There are many UX325 models listed.

    yes it worked and I had to choose the 

    Zenbook Flip 13 OLED (UX363, 11th Gen Intel) model

    as my model only says Zenbook UX363EA. So after a second download of the Audio file from  - https://www.asus.com/us/support/Download-Center/

    it finally worked - yay! Thanks Robert63

    I'm afraid not easy.  Go to the driver download and search -  https://www.asus.com/us/support/Download-Center/ .  If you can not see your precise model number, all I can suggest is you ask Asus directly.
