Over the last few days, my audio goes out during meetings on my laptop.  It does it on its own.  I am not touching the keyboard at all.   I have not changed any settings.   If I close out the session and relaunch, the audio is good at first but then goes out again.  It takes less than a minute after logging on for it to occur.

I cleared the cache and that didn’t help.  I reinstalled the app and that didn’t help.  My drivers are up to date and I have plenty of capacity on my laptop.  I tried different headsets.  There is no difference, and I can listen to online videos without any problem.  This also happens when I change the source from headset to computer speaker. 

I don't have this problem on my other computer.  The maker of the computer with this problem checked it for any errors or settings issues, and nothing was found to be a problem.  Other software programs work fine with audio.  It seems to be specific to Zoom and happens both through the browser and app.

Dear Zoom Team,

I am writing to suggest an improvement to the language interpretation feature in Zoom. I work with multilingual meetings where interpreters often need to temporarily address the main room — for example, to ask the speaker a question, make a clarification, or assist the host in real time.

Currently, when interpreters are assigned to a language channel, their voice is not heard in the main room. To be heard, they must manually leave their interpretation channel (by selecting "Off" in the Interpretation menu), speak, and then rejoin their assigned language. While this workaround exists, it is inconvenient, disruptive, and technically confusing for many interpreters — especially in fast-paced meetings.

Suggested Improvement:
Please consider adding a simple toggle for interpreters that allows them to:

Temporarily speak to the main room (all participants),

And then return to their interpretation channel with one click or shortcut.

This would preserve the clean separation of language channels during normal interpretation, while giving interpreters a controlled and intuitive way to interact with the main meeting when needed.

This small improvement would greatly enhance the flexibility and professionalism of multilingual meetings and better support global communication.

Thank you for considering this feature!

Kind regards,
