Pulseaudio and Zoom audio incompatibility : Possible Bug in Program
After upgrading from Zoom 5.6 to Zoom 5.7+. I have noticed a problem on my Linux machine. (Manjaro - that uses Arch Linux) When hosting a meeting I attempt to share my sound and a video (I tick the appropriate boxes). Those that are viewing the meeting report that the sound is of a lower quality and is "crackly" When I open the linux audio mixer I find that the video's sound is not playing through the normal system "built in analog" setting but is playing " zoom_combine_device" setting. When I then manually change the setting back to "built in analog" The sound returns to normal. The problem is that everytime I play a new video the sound system resets to the "zoom_combine_device" and the problem returns and I can only fix the problem while the video is running. I have Pulseaudio sound server installed that is the regular sound server for Linux machines. Specs of Machine: OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
