MacOS Sonoma 14.7 & Zoom 6.2.0 external audio disconnects after unmuting and someone else speaks.

After upgrading to MacOS Sonoma 14.7 I have noticed the following:
1. Connect to Headphones via a hardwired cable, or by Bluetooth, it doesn't matter.
2. Join a Zoom meeting, the audio from the other attendees can be heard on headphones.
3. Unmute and say something.

4. Audio no longer comes through headphones connected via Bluetooth or via cable.
5. Have to switch to speaker audio to hear anything.

Using the MacOS System Wide default speaker did not fix this.
Explicitly setting to use headphones in Zoom Audio Settings did not fix this.

This is a severe blocker as you now have to take Zoom meetings in a closed room environment as you have to use the MacBook's Speakers. You cannot take meetings in a shared space like a Coffee Shop or Wework etc...
