UI issues with Zoom and Mac OS

I am running Zoom 5.17.11 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.4 and experiencing the following odd behavior:

1. During a Zoom meeting, when I click on a window other than Zoom and then click back on Zoom the volume automatically drops 50-75%

2. I cannot type anything into Chat

3. When I click on Mute or Stop Video the secondary menus appear and then disappear. I cannot, for example, change my speakers. Same with Security and Participants. They don't work. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Richard
