Original Sound for Musicians ON but still can't hear flute sound!

I teach flute lessons online.

 

Last night and today, even though my students had selected the "ORIGINAL SOUND FOR MUSICIANS" ON, I could not hear their flute sounds.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this issue today? Could it be server or update issues?

Yes i am having the same problem. Even with "ORIGINAL SOUND FOR MUSICIANS" turned on, I can’t hear my students' flute sounds. It might be a glitch with Zoom or maybe something with the servers or a recent update. Hopefully, it gets fixed soon

I am having the same problem.  I will have to cancel the class because the instrument sounds are not coming through even with Original Sound for Musicians on and all boxes empty. 

I discovered that iPhone has a system noise cancellation that needs to be turned off as well!! Write me on FB or IG and I'll send you the demo instructional video I made if you want.

Hello there,

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Just to set your expectations, the original sound for musicians need to be turned on during every meeting. If you have turned on the setting before a meeting it will not take effect. 

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Your answer does not address the above concerns. All posts said that they had original sound for musician turned on.  Yet still, the flute sound does not come through. I am experiencing the same issue today 10/7/2024. Please advise.

I found out that turning "Original Sound" on in the settings only gives you a toggle button at the top left of the screen (Mac). You have to toggle that button to 'ON' to actually turn it on. This finally worked for me.

Yes, I am aware of this, as are my students. We always click the Original Sound for Musicians toggle and still cannot hear flute sound. They can hear MY flute (I use an auxiliary mic, not sure if that matters in this context) and I can hear students who play other instruments (ukulele, guitar). Just not my flute students flute. This is a problem specific to flute. Others have described it above. It is also a new problem, as of this week, for me.
