My microphone has a delay during meetings; I start speaking and no one can hear me, it takes several seconds to activate. I have an Acer DTSX laptop and Windows 11. Can you help me?

Hello @Simplementegla!

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here!


Troubleshooting Zoom Microphone Delay and Audio Lag on Windows 11 (Acer Laptop):

  • Disable any audio control software (like MaxxAudio, Bang & Olufsen, or similar) or uninstall it, then restart your computer.
  • Update your audio drivers.
  • Disable audio enhancements on your computer, which can be done in Zoom’s advanced audio settings by turning off “Windows system audio enhancements.”

These steps can help reduce microphone delay and audio activation lag.

Let us know if it helps or if you need further assistance!
