I’m encountering an issue with Zoom  and my Plantronics Bluetooth headset for audio and microphone use. The headset works perfectly with other applications like Google Meet, You Tube, etc so I believe the device itself is functioning properly.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Reviewed and followed all relevant Zoom support articles

• Checked audio settings within Zoom and selected the correct input/output device

• Verified that the headset is connected and set as the default in the system audio settings

• Uninstalled, Installed, Restarted Zoom and my computer

• I show the green bars when conducting the testing but I cannot hear the sound or recording
• System: Window 11
• PC: Lenovo Thinkpad

Despite this, Zoom does not play or capture audio through the headset.

Do you have any additional troubleshooting steps or suggestions? Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Next thing I know is I'm hearing the Andy Griffith TV show theme song over top of the song I'm sharing.

THEN, I'm seeing participant's hands going up, one at a time (none of my participants even know how to raise their hand!).

Then my cohost says that an ad*lt video is showing on everyone's screen, from the visitor. My cohost could not remove the visitor , and because the names in the participant list kept moving around (I'm guessing because of the hand-raising they were somehow doing).

So.  My guess is the visitor had an ad*lt video as their background and then did a spotlight for all, which overrode the screen sharing I was doing.

AND... SOMEHOW they were able to raise other participants' hands.  HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY ABLE TO DO THAT?!?

I ended-up killing the meeting to stop it.

Thanks for any thoughts on what happened!

Hello, I recently bought a new Dell G15. I play weekly Dungeons and Dragons via Zoom where the host shares music with us. I can hear everyone speaking, but cannot hear the music. Everyone else can hear the music perfectly. I can only hear their voices. Someone other than host tried sharing music. Everyone else could hear it except me. I can hear my friends voices perfectly fine. It is as though some setting is automatically muting the music.

This happens when I use the base speakers and microphone on the laptop, or when I use a Snowball external microphone and headphones, or when I use airpods. Any combination of base system, headphones, external microphone, I can hear my friends' voices but cannot hear the music. 

Yes, I have made sure to select the correct output speaker and input headphones, in both desktop client settings and in the actual meetings. No combination of selected speaker (Speakers Realtek Audio, Same as System Speakers Realtek Audio, or Headphones) and selected Microphone (Microphone Array AMD Audio Device, Same as System Microphone Array AMD Audio Device, or Blue Snowball) allows me to hear the shared music. SOMETIMES I hear it for a moment when I connect. Then it is automatically muted by something.

Yes, I have set Audio Profile -> Background noise suppression to "low".

To be clear, I am not trying to share my audio. I cannot hear when others share music. I can hear their voices, but not the music.

Surely there is some setting that is automatically detecting and muting the music? Does anyone with a Dell G15 have issues with music on zoom? In System -> Sound -> Volume Mixer I also select the correct output device (Headphones usually) and input device (external Snowball microphone usually). 

Also important is, when I play my OWN music on my laptop while in a Zoom meeting, it is garbled and choppy and extremely distorted. For example, trying to play Spotify or Youtube through my headphones to create my own background music for the Dungeons and Dragons. I can barely hear it even when I mess around with app volumes in the Volume Mixer. This only happens while in a Zoom Meeting. 

Thanks for the read and for any help. I am at a loss. Clearly I am missing some Zoom or Dell AI-noise cancelling setting. The speakers and headset both work fine for music, video games, everything else. Just can't hear shared music or play my own background music while in a Zoom meeting.

Instead of having different binary packages for each supported distribution, it would be great to have an official AppImage compatible with all of them. This would solve possible problems with the current packages as, for example, the missing dependencies of the current .deb Debian package in Debian Sid.

For your reference, there's an unofficial AppImage in https://github.com/probonopd/Zoom.AppImage.

Thanks!
