Hello everyone
A few months ago, I was still able to hold online music lessons on my notebook with a Zoom meeting.
Since a program update, my participants can only hear my voice, but no longer the musical instrument (piano).
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you very much,
Roland.

Original sound for musicians needs to be turned ON in the upper right area of the Zoom window.

Hello storyhub,
thank you so much for your answer. That was exactly the solution.
I completely overlooked this button.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
Roland.

The trouble is way deeper than that simple fix that makes no difference to this problem.

Here is insight to setting up original sound.
https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0064198
Note that original sound has to be turned on in 2 places. Don't forget to click the Original Sound for Musicians button to toggle this on or off in the top-left corner of the meeting window. Also, check your OS for audio enhancements and be sure they are turned off. If this works please click accept as a solution.

This is the exact problem I'm having. I'm using a Mac with the latest OS. After the last update from Zoom, my audio no longer works for musical instruments. I haven't been able to find any solutions at all. Microphone audio is pristine. Same interface, music that used to work now does not.

Same trouble here - what are they thinking!! We WANT to hear music!!

I can clearly hear voices from others, but when they play music, it is shut down in a fraction of a second. All parties have original sound ON.
