Shared Computer Audio Stops Working When Mic Is Muted (New Bug, Started This Week)

[Debjchang]

This week Zoom introduced a new audio regression:

If the host or co-host mutes their microphone, shared computer audio stops being heard by participants.

This was NEVER the behavior for years, and it breaks all music-based workflows (karaoke hosts, music teachers, fitness instructors, church services, etc.).

Please escalate this as a priority bug. Many users rely on being able to mute their mic while playing music or videos.
