Unable to rejoin audio during a meeting

When disconnecting audio during a regular Zoom meeting, I am no longer able to rejoin after the first few minutes. Both the microphone and speaker do not reconnect. I don’t leave the meeting.  Video continues working just fine. This has been going on for months now. 

This issue started with a new iPad Pro device, which makes me think it is a settings issue or other software issue. Audio is set to auto connect in Zoom app settings.  I have the latest IOS app. 

Can anyone help?
