Issues while sharing Computer Sound
We use Zoom meetings to run hybrid Yoga classes (there are students in the Studio and other students join online). Zoom is run off a Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows. The Zoom app is updated to teh latest version. The laptop is connected to a TV through an HDMI cable so the laptop screen is visible on the TV. The laptop is also connected to external speakers using the 3.5mm adaptor. In Audio settings (Zoom) we select the TV as a speaker so that we can hear if one of the online students has a question. This setup works fine. The issue occurs when we want to play some music in the background. To do this, we play the music either on VLC player or Youtube (on chrome browser) on the laptop, and in the Zoom meeting we "Share Computer Audio". Now we can hear the music through the speakers connected to the laptop (as desired), but the folks on the call cannot hear the music at all. We experimented and if we turn the TV (connected via HDMI) off, the online folks can hear the music. But we need the TV on so we can see them doing their Yoga poses. We did experiment by selecting "External speaker" and Same as "System in Audio Speakers", but that does not help if the TV is on. The sound gets to the online folks only when the HDMI TV is off/ disconnected. We also tried playing a video on youtube and sharing computer screen (also sharing the chrome app) with the "Share Sound" box checked. Same result- if the TV is on, no sound goes through. If it is off, sound goes through. Can someone help? Thanks
