"Original sound on" function not working.

My "Original sound on" function is not working. This is serious for me, as I use Zoom to play music to friends, and my music is totally suppressed.

    Even if you don't have an HP computer or Bang & Olufson software, you can search for any Windows audio driver setting,  Sound control panel setting, or just search for "audio" in the toolbar Cortana/search and see if there are any audio utilities that have a sound processing setting that can be disabled.  That is how Zoom Support found the B&O setting that solved my proiblem.

    This was the best information I could have come across.  This helped A LOT!  Zoom support was not helpful in solving the issue and I had assumed that there was an internal issue with my mic.

    This solution seems to work but when you come back to zoom, your microphone gets disabled, so this is not solved. I am with a brand new alienware with windows 8, and the entire company has the same issue. Nobody has it solved.

    If anyone is searching. Windows 11: settings>system>sound>properties>audio enhancements. click the button and choose "off".
