Joining Meeting Before It Starts With Audio Only Gives Me No Audio

I've been doing Zoom meetings for a long time without a camera and never had problem until a few weeks ago.
I am using the Windows app on Windows 11 (not in the browser).
It use to be when I joined a meeting, I would get the prompt that said "Join with audio." And I'd join and that was fine.
Now, if I try to join a meeting before it has started, when I try to join, your app thinks I want to use my cell phone camera, and I can't find any way to say "no video." I try to join the meeting and when it starts, I have no audio. So, I have to exit the meeting and join again. Then I get the prompt saying "Join with audio" and everything works as before.
Wish I would get this to work the first time without video, without all this trouble.
Anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mark
