Zoom Audio not working on Windows 10

I have tried every tutorial/guide on the internet and nothing is working! Please Help
No audio from zoom while on earphones. I cannot hear others' audio or speak while plugged in my earphone.

- I am unmuted
- My earphones work when using other software and websites but just not zoom
(e.g. skype, youtube, etc)

Things I have tried:
- Changed the input and output audio settings in zoom to 1) the same as system and 2) to my earphones

- Tried the "test speaker and microphone" and failed in every test

- Used different earphones to plug into the earphone jack -> same result, no audio output or input (My Bluetooth wireless buds works on zoom without audio issue but not wired earphones )

- Make sure system > advanced sound options > zoom meetings are turned up to 100

- Allowed microphone access in Windows' Privacy Setting

- Uninstalled zoom (and removed all of the leftover files), restart my laptop and reinstall zoom for 3 times

- Edit: I updated, uninstalled and installed the external mic, headphones, microphone and speakers drivers on my laptop as per Ip-Man's suggestion (Thank You!)  below but it did not solve my problem

(I am on a Windows 10 laptop with earphone plugged into the earphone jack)

Please help! This problem has severely affected my zoom meetings and lessons - Thank you in advance

Hi,

Does anyone know how to return a participant to their breakout room after they loose connection and have to rejoin the meeting? When I try to do it, the room they were in is not available as an option so I have to move them into a different room first and then move them back into their previous room. Surely there is an easier way of doing this.

Thanks,

Anna

On a clean (well-maintained, no viruses or sketchy software) Windows  PC.  I recently moved to new HW and upgraded from WIndows 10 to Windows 11.  I updated my audio driver (Realtek) for the new Motherboard (Asus B760M-A-AX).  Everything works great, except.  When I go into zoom (using a USB logitech camera), The audio tests work fine, but I can't hear anyone else.  I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Zoom, and now when people are talking I get occasional badly distorted audio.  I have checked all audio settings in zoom and on my PC and all appears ok.  Video works fine, and they can hear me.  I just can't hear them.  I thought maybe zoom needed some permission but after the reinstall I do hear -something- but it's distorted and mostly silent.   I have the latest audio driver for my board, and all my other audio works fine.  I'm afraid I can't pinpoint whether it was caused by the HW upgrade or the windows upgrade :-(.    I don't think anyone will have the answer but I'm at a loss as to how to debug.  Any/all thoughts appreciated.

I am running the latest zoom (6.2.5.2440) on the latest Debian (sid; using Wayland). This has been working fine, but recently when I *stop* sharing my screen (either the whole screen or one window), zoom freezes - immediately, when I click "stop share". The connection remains for some time - I can talk to the other person, and they can see my video (but my shared screen is frozen) - but after a few minutes zoom completely freezes. I have to manually kill zoom. I haven't figured out how to get any error messages out of it either.

This basically makes zoom unusable for me. Luckily, I'm not teaching a class right now.

Any suggestions how to debug this? Is this an issue that the developers are aware of?
