Near end microphone audio gates or cuts out for far end participants
Problem: far end participants experience audio drop outs and extreme gating of near end/conference room microphone. Configuration: Shure MXA910 > Dante > QSC Q-Sys Core 8 Flex > USB > brand new Dell OptiPlex5090 running Zoom Rooms 5.11.3 on Windows 10. At first, we turned off all sound processing from Zoom Rooms to let the Core handle AEC. The issue was first noticed. Then we bypassed all processing in Core and turned it into an expensive Dante-to-USB converter and turned on Zoom processing: same results. Turned off processing on both ends: same results Bypassed Core altogether and used an Audinate Dante-to-USB converter with Zoom Rooms processing turned on: better results but still not acceptable. Turned off Zoom Rooms processing, no change. We have multiple rooms with the same issue. We've also tried downgrading Zoom Rooms versions down to 5.11 and 5.10 but no change. When using the same Shure mic and Core plugged into a MacMini running regular Zoom, this isn't an issue and the audio is great. Windows tests also result in good audio on the Dell PC so the issue lies with Zoom Rooms somewhere. Even with audio processing turned off in Zoom, we can still hear it gating and processing. 1) Is there a way to completely disable Zoom Room's audio processing (even the stuff still operating in the background) so we can let the Core 8 Flex do the work? 2) Does Zoom have a guide that outlines the settings in Zoom Rooms when using an external DSP such as a QSC Core?
