Volume (input and output) too low on Mac - All settings are on and set to Max Volume
Using an iMac with Monterey upgraded March, 2022 my input and output volume too low for me and my participants. I have double checked that all audio settings both for Zoom and my Mac are on with the correct mic and speakers (default system) and set to Max Volume. The volume issues are corrected (sort of) when I pop in my AirPods. HOWEVER, the AirPods do not work for audio (mic or speaker) they simply kick my iMac speaker and mic into "on" (or more functional?). HOWEVER AGAIN, I then cannot adjust the now MAX volume down using either Zoom or my Mac volume controls. This started *I think* about a week ago with the latest Mac OS 12.2.1 update. Previously, I had zero issues and have been adjusting mic and speaker volume when in Zoom just fine. This problem is ONLY with Zoom. I do not have this issue with other video host apps (FaceTime, Google Meet, Teams, music, etc.).
