Zoom Rooms Audio Disconnecting

Hello All,

 

Hope anyone can shed some light on our issue. We have the following set-up. 

- Mac mini (Intel) running the latest version - Monterey OS

- Shure P300IMX Processor (Connected USB)

- MXA 910 Microphone

- Shure Conference Speakers

- Zoom Rooms - latest version

 

Here is the issue. Zoom rooms will start up fine but anywhere between 8 and 45 minutes the audio will stop working. The computer sees the USB processor just fine, but the audio isn't working with zoom. Has anyone else seen this issue before? We thought it might be the computer, but we replaced the M1 Mac minis that were in there with Intel max and have the same issue.

I have seen a similar issue.  

The presenter's mic audio goes very choppy and fuzzy about 20 minutes into a meeting. It's repeatable on multiple Macs in different rooms.

 

We seem to be able to avoid it happening by enabling Original Sound with settings to have High fidelity music mode AND Echo cancellation turned on And then turn "Original sound" to On from the main Zoom screen.

 

We are using an external USB Audio Card with the mic plugged in to it from a pre-amp output. Tried different USB Audio cards as well.  

 

Doesn't seem to be a problem on Windows machines.

As I can see that Zoom support team and Moderator are continuously working to giving you a solution for the audio issue in your Zoom Rooms setup: 

However you can also try these following step to resolve the issue.

Update Software: Ensure all components (Mac mini, Shure P300IMX Processor, Zoom Rooms) are running the latest software updates to fix potential bugs.  

Check Audio Settings: Verify that the correct input and output audio devices are selected in Zoom Rooms, and test them for functionality. 

USB and Ports: Inspect and replace the USB cable if damaged. Try different USB ports on the Mac mini to rule out port issues. 

Driver/Firmware Updates: Check for and apply any available driver or firmware updates for the Shure devices. 

Background Apps: Close any background applications that may interfere with Zoom's audio. 

Mac System Preferences: Ensure the correct audio devices are selected in Mac's System Preferences > Sound. 

Temperature: Prevent overheating by ensuring proper ventilation for the Mac mini. 

Test with Different Software: Check if the issue persists with other video conferencing or audio recording software. 

I hope that it will work.
