I have been trying to open a zoom meeting in a remote machine connected using vpn. I keep facing the issue only with respect to microphone. I have updated settings of audio for the zoom meeting. I have installed the audio drivers in the machine. Still I observe this error. Any thoughts on this?

If Zoom fails to detect your microphone, unplug the device and plug it back in. If it's a bluetooth device, ensure that it is turned on and connected properly. Make sure that you are using a supported USB device for Zoom. Note: USB devices not listed within the above article may still work with Zoom.

I have been facing this issue of microphone only when connected to a target machine using RDP from windows and running zoom application in the remote machine. When using anydesk application for connecting to the target and triggering the zoom application, there is no issue with microphone.

Couldnt get the fix.
