Zoom computer audio not sharing keyboard midi for piano lessons

Hi there,

SOLVED!

SOLVED!
In my losing my way in the midst of what became a puzzle, I had forgotten to leave my DAW open.

I am delivering keyboard/piano lessons online and am have difficulty with sharing the computer audio to hear the midi of the keyboard.

I have tried several potential solutions, though as yet still cannot hear the sound.

The midi works when going through Garageband.

I've set up the midi for the Zoom input/output in midi settings on Garageband. When in Zoom I click 'share computer audio' and no sound comes out. The small box to tick for option of 'share sound' is greyed out.

 

I have also tried going through my audio interface with the leads from keyboard to interface. Then choosing that as the speaker option.

 

I've tested out the different options of sound including for 'live musicians' and get the message there's a problem turning it on.

 

The sound is set to only me to share, not multiple participants. 

I have updated Zoom, and restarted. 
I'm using a Macbook with High Sierra.

 

I trust someone can help, I'm in quite a puzzle with it.

Thankyou!

Hi there, 

This has bamboozled me and to be accurate I will check it again. I gave up with Zoom, and moved to recording lessons with another program with the intention of them being pre-recorded. However, I would prefer the option of live classes, and rereading my post, According to my reply to myself above I said I had forgotten to leave my DAW open. As I recall, this still didn't work! 

So to be concise, I haven't solved it. And I'm puzzled. 
i shall test the set up once again with the DAW open and share the results. 

Have you made any progress and found a solution? 
Kind Regards

thanks again for your response. I should also note that i'm using a PC. I think the user experience is a bit different with the two different platforms. I have a number of different "microphone in" options as well as "speaker out" options but have never seen a general Zoom audio in or out. I'm sure there's a way to do this but perhaps its not with zoom which is unfortunate. Hopefully others will chime in and/or Zoom will take note and respond. 

thanks again!
